Default Display last row entered


Hi, on a large Spreadsheet, with Data added daily, I would like the last
row of Data added to display on Row 1 at A1, B1 etc. Please advise on
the best option, is it by using the Vlookup formula??
Cheers
Paul

Default Display last row entered

From my notes copied from another message I know that:
=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A) will return the last numeric value
of Sheet1 column A
=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A) will return the last text entry of Sheet1
column A
So if the data in the column is numeric use
=MATCH(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A),A: A) to show the row number,
and if textual use =MATCH(LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A),A:A)
If the last entry could be either text or number use
=MAX(MATCH(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A ),A:A),MATCH(LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A),A:A) )
You can miss out the "Sheet1!" stuff if the formulas are in the same
worksheet as the data.
best wishes

Cheers
