Lookup the 2nd to last cell used in a column
How do I modify this:
=LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A10<""),A1:A10) which looks up the last value in a column so it instead retrieves the second to last value in a column, third to last value in a column, fourth to last, etc. offset this value -1 somehow? or -2, -3 etc... not sure how to use OFFSET thanks very much! |

Lookup the 2nd to last cell used in a column
=LOOKUP(MAX(Data!B3:B500)-1,Data!B3:B500)
=LOOKUP(MAX(Data!B3:B500)-2,Data!B3:B500) =LOOKUP(MAX(Data!B3:B500)-3,Data!B3:B500) etc "SteveC" wrote: How do I modify this: =LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A10<""),A1:A10) which looks up the last value in a column so it instead retrieves the second to last value in a column, third to last value in a column, fourth to last, etc. offset this value -1 somehow? or -2, -3 etc... not sure how to use OFFSET thanks very much! |

Lookup the 2nd to last cell used in a column
Assuming no blank cells in between the data
=INDEX(A:A,COUNT(A:A)-1) "SteveC" wrote: How do I modify this: =LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A10<""),A1:A10) which looks up the last value in a column so it instead retrieves the second to last value in a column, third to last value in a column, fourth to last, etc. offset this value -1 somehow? or -2, -3 etc... not sure how to use OFFSET thanks very much! |

Another way...
=INDEX(A1:A7,ROWS(A1:A7)-1) "SteveC" wrote: How do I modify this: =LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A10<""),A1:A10) which looks up the last value in a column so it instead retrieves the second to last value in a column, third to last value in a column, fourth to last, etc. offset this value -1 somehow? or -2, -3 etc... not sure how to use OFFSET thanks very much! |
