What formula do I use to show the last cell with text in a colum
I have an Excel worksheet with 2 sheets. Sheet1 is for data entry and will
have data in columns to record details of meetings, each row is a different person e.g. column B has details of first meeting, column C has details of second meeting, column D has details of third meeting and so on . I want my second sheet to be a report that shows the details of the most recent meeting i.e I want a formula in sheet2 that looks at sheet1, finds the last cell in a row with text, and copies this text to the relevant cell in sheet2. Do I use "go to" command plus a formula? how? |

Assuming that there is some type of data in column A, could do:
=INDEX(2:2,,COUNTA(2:2)) Otherwise, =INDEX(B2:Z2,,COUNTA(B2:Z2)) -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Melissa" wrote: I have an Excel worksheet with 2 sheets.

This formula will return the *last* (rightmost) TEXT entry in the range
