    Return last number in column

    I have values in cells E1, E2 E3 & E4. Cells E5 thru E50 are blank. Is there a formula that will return the value of the last cell with a value into Cell E51?

    Values will be added to Cells E5 etc. and I want the last value to be returned to E51.

    Welcome to the board.

    In E51, =index(e1:e50, match(9e307, e1:e50))

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Another option...
    =INDEX($E$1:$E$20,MATCH(0,$E$1:$E$20,-1))

    Note, both shg's and my suggestions will only work with numbers, not text
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
