Hi,

I have written a UDF to search through a range to find the last vali
value eg:

a b c d e
1 1 5 5
2 6
3 1 7 8

In these examples 5, 6 and 8 would be the last valid enties

Basically I transfer the range to an array and search from the end bac
until I find a value. The problem is that the values don't update whe
data is changed. I had thought about using application.volatile bu
this is dangerous and has caused me problems in the past.

Is there and easier way to do this either by formula or better designe
UDF???

Cheers,

B

Use

=INDEX(1:1, MATCH(9.999999E+307,1:1))

and drag the formula down..
