2nd to last value in column
 
Hi everyone.

My question has to do with the 2nd to last cell with data in a column. To
get the last data, I am using "=LOOKUP(10^100,A2:D2)" but how can I get the
data from the cell right above that?

For instance, my data looks like this (multiple tabs for different entities):

# of Accounts 1/1/10 45
$ of Accounts 1/1/10 6300
# of Accounts 1/2/10 23
$ of Accounts 1/2/10 1550

So, I want my totals page to show the last 2 entries (# and $).

TIA, any help would be wonderful,

Thanks,

Greg

Try the below to get the data from the cell right above that?

With data in ColA

=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(10^10,A:A)-1)

2nd to last value in column
 
Greg,

You question is a bit muddled, you ask for the second to last value in a
column yet your formula is a row (A2:D2), which is it. Assumin no blanks try
these

Row
=INDEX(A2:D2,COUNT(A2:D2)-1)
column
=INDEX(A1:A6,COUNT(A1:A6)-1)

2nd to last value in column
 
You are correct. I used a copied formula template (A2:D2) for my example.
The actual number I was looking for was in a column.

My fault.

Thank you for your input. Having both formulas is great.

Hi Greg,

Here's another that seems to do what you want.

=OFFSET(F1,COUNTA(F:F)-2,0)

Find last 20 values in column
 
Hi guys,
Along a similar line to finding the 2nd last value in a column, I have a question that's a little trickier..

I have a single column of numbers ~100 rows high.. Not all cells have values in them and each week another value is entered at the bottom of the column.. I need to find the 10 lowest values in the last 20 cells that have values in them.. So each week the top value of the 20 'found' values will drop off and the most recent value will become part of the list of 20 values that the 10 lowest values are calculated from..

Any ideas??
Thanks in advance,
Doggy

Find last 20 values in column
 
What do you want to do with these 10 lowest values? Sounds like a golf
handicap calculation.

What if there aren't 20 numbers?
