Copying data entered in the last cell of a row on the same spreads
I would like to create a formula where I can copy a date entered in the last
cell of a row on the same spreadsheet. I would like to insert the formula starting in C2. For example, in row 2 of my spreadsheet, if cell H2 (last one) has a date, copy the date to C2. But if H2 is blank, copy F2 to C2 if F2 has a date. But, if F2 is blank, copy D2 to C2 if D2 has a date. The cells I would like checked are not adjacent to each other. I hope this is makes sense. Please let me know if you need clarification. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks! |

Assuming the dates could lie within E2:IV2,
think you could try this in C2, array-entered**: =INDEX(E2:IV2,MAX((ISNUMBER(E2:IV2)*COLUMN(E2:IV2) )-4)) Format C2 as date *Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Jennifer" wrote: I would like to create a formula where I can copy a date entered in the last cell of a row on the same spreadsheet.

Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks! A date is a number in Excel, merely presented in a date format. Accordingly =LOOKUP(1E+307,D2:IV2) will return the last numeric entry in row 2 to the right of cell C2. (For Excel 2007, you may want to extend the range). --ron |
