cell contents returned

[userofexcel]

hey there,

here's the situation:

data range with mixed contents. nemed "Date"
col 1 dates
column 2 numbers

in two separate cells, i wish to add the last entries from wach of the columns.

i have tried to use the following but it returns #ref, na, name etc.

for the first column
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((date<>"")*ROW(Date)),
COLUMN(Date),4))

for the second column:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((Date<>"")*ROW(Date)),
COLUMN(Date)+1,4))


my range has empty cell contents for future use inboth columns, I want to be able to search the contents of each column, and select that last cell in the column with data.


thanks

used the following to solve my question,
reminded of
KISS ( keep it simple St....)


=VLOOKUP(MAX(B1:B30),C1:C30,1)
thanks
