Hi

Can you please advise the easiest method to achieve the following.

I need a formula to perform a calculation using the last cell in a
range that contains a value. The range would be say A1:A365 and each
day the user will add to the bottom of the range (for each day of the
year) and I need to calculate from this on a rolling basis (basically a
yearly average).

I hope this is easy to understand.

Thanks

VC

The last value can be found using

=INDEX(A1:A365,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A1:A365 ))

if you just want the row, just use

=MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A1:A365)

uplink600, this return the last numeric valve in A1:A365,
=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,A1:A365)
