I am trying to create a formula in exel that will return a value from the
final cell in a row. this cell reference will be moving on a weekly basis.
example.
Top row is filled in with a date field which is updated each week (this is
the main reference point). Under this cell is number, but this could be
blank. what i need to do is to only return the last value in that row in my
reference cell.
eg. cell a1 = needs data in from last cell in row only (n1)
all cells from b1 to n1 will have numbers in them, but i only want to report
the number in 'N1' cell. this cell reference will move each week to the right
'O1, P1 ----'

Hi Craig,
Read your query and trying to help...:) But not really understand
..
Can you elaborate more? Or you may want to attach a sample report..

I think what you want is:

=LOOKUP(9.999E+307,B1:AZ1)

entered in cell A1. This will find the last value entered in the range
B1 to AZ1 - adjust to suit your situation. If you want to find the
(relative) position of this cell, use MATCH.

Hope this helps,

Pete
