How to return value from last column w/value?
 

Let's say I have 4 columns, how do I go about returning the right most
value?

As you can see, the right most value could be in any cell in the
range.

So for row 1, I'd like to return 'fail', row 2 would be blank, row 3
would be start.

THANKS!!

=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),A1:D1)

Row 2 will cause #N/A.
