    Need Formula to Match Text In a column And Retrieve adjacent column value

    I need a formula to run down a column DCapture.JPG (starting at 142), when it finds the last entered value it needs to display the corresponding value from column J into cell AA21.

    If you see the attached photo, the last entered data in column D would be 1, AA21 would be saying -30 (J205)

    Is this possible ?

    Re: Not sure how to explain it, please open and help

    We have two issues here that need to be resolved.

    Picture:

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Please do not upload a picture of your file...rather, upload a sample of your workbook, showing what data you are working with, a few samples of your expected outcome (manually entered is ok) and how you arrived at that. (Exclude sensitive info). Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you. Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls, etc.)

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    If people needed a copy of the workbook I would have provided it. I only provided a picture to help explain it ....
    I know what rule one is but I didnt know how to explain it. And thats what I wrote... Instead of being a forum nazi, how about actually helping me ?

    BTW Thanks Sixthsense for your usefull post I clicked on your *

    Change A1:A20 to your Search Range and J1:J20 to your Result Range.

    =LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A20<>""),J1:J20)

    You can use 0 also if your souce is filled with 0 instead of Blanks.

    =LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A20<>0),J1:J20)
