    I didn't download your file (it's too big for me!).

    What type of data is it? Is it text? Numbers? Could be both? Something else?

    This formula will return the last (right-most) TEXT entry from row 1:

    =LOOKUP("zzzzz",1:1)

    This formula will return the last (right-most ) NUMBER entry from row 1:

    =LOOKUP(1E100,1:1)

    Yes Please, they would be activated by the start date in the drop down list

    Try this...

    Entered in B3 and copied across to C3:

    =IFERROR(INDEX($G3:$O3,MATCH($B5,$G3:$O3,0)+COLUMNS($B3:B3)),"")
