Referencing the latest entry in a column
I want to reference the latest entry in a column. So that every time the
column is updated, and subsequently has another cell added to it, I don't have to update the formula for referencing it. |

Referencing the latest entry in a column
Hi,
Suppose the data is in range F11:F17. In cell F10, give a heading, say dummy. Now select F10:F17 and convert it to a List (Ctrl+L). Then try this formula If the column has numeric data =LOOKUP(99^99,F11:F17) If the column has non-numeric data =LOOKUP(REPT("z",99),F11:F17) As you keep adding data to the range I.e. row 18 onwards, the range in the lookup formula will keep expanding -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "John" wrote in message ...
