Default Fomula need to pick up last entry in a row

Is it actually the last entry in the ROW you are looking for? For example
you have cells B1, C1, D1, etc populated? If so the following formula
entered as array (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) will help:

=OFFSET($A$1,,MAX(IF(B1:IV1<"",COLUMN(B1:IV1),"") )-1)

OR, are you looking for the last entry in the COLUMN? For example you have
cells A2, A3, A4, etc populated? If so this formula will help (array entered
again):

=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("A"&MAX(IF(A2:A1000<"",ROW( A2:A1000),""))))

Do either of those help?

Try this:

=LOOKUP(2,1/(1-ISBLANK(A2:A1000)),A2:A1000)

Sorry, misread your post.

Try this:

=LOOKUP(2,1/(1-ISBLANK(B1:IV1)),B1:IV1)
