Default formula for last cell

For numeric values try

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,A:A)

Change the column to suit

Default formula for last cell

This appears to return the contents of the last cell in a specified column
whether that cell holds a number or text...

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A65535<""),A:A)
