    Hi Moin,

    try this in H4:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    And then copy the formula down.

    Cheers

    Re: formula that will show the cell address

    I think you have copied your data from another file, as the cell references do not tie up.

    Anyway, you can use this in H4:

    =ADDRESS(ROW(),MATCH(LOOKUP(9E+99,A4:F4),A4:F4),4)

    then copy down.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    =address(row(),max(index((b4:f4<>"")*column(b4:f4),0)))

    Re: formula that will show the cell address

    If both formulae give the same results, then use whichever one you feel most comfortable with.

    Both formulae use the ADDRESS function, and the ROW function - the only difference is the way in which the COLUMN element is determined.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Moin,

    I think that if you have a very large sheet, Pete's formula may be faster than what I suggested. [Do you agree Pete?]

    And you can make mine shorter by deleting G4:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: formula that will show the cell address

    I don't think there would be much difference in speed. Incidentally, you can change LARGE ... 1 ... to MAX.

    Hope this helps.
