Return last cell in range
 

You can use the following array formula. It will return the value of
the right-most non-blank cell in the range P4:BM4.

=OFFSET(P4,0,MAX(COLUMN(P4:BM4)*(P4:BM4<""))-COLUMN(P4),1,1)

Since this is an Array Formula, you *must* press CTRL SHIFT ENTER
rather than just ENTER when you first enter the formula
and whenever you edit it later. If you do this properly,
Excel will display the formula in the Formula Bar enclosed
in curly braces { }. (You do not type the curly braces -
Excel includes them automatically.) The formula will not work
properly if you do not use CTRL SHIFT ENTER. See
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ArrayFormulas.aspx for lots
more information about array formulas.
