Hi, I am hoping I can get some help on this.

I have a spreadsheet that has an item # in column A, and has a place to
enter prices for the next 52 weeks in columns B - BA. I need a formula in
colum BB that will find the last price entered for that item # in all of the
columns. There will be items that may get updated each week, and others that
will only get updated periodically, so those columns may be blank.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ron,

Put this in BB1 and drag down

=LOOKUP(2,1/(B1:BA1<""),B1:BA1)

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

in columns B - BA
find the last price entered

This will return the rightmost (last) numeric value from the range.

=LOOKUP(1E100,B2:BA2)
