    Display last row entered

    Hi, on a large Spreadsheet, with Data added daily, I would like the last row of Data added to display on Row 1 at A1, B1 etc. Please advise on the best option, is it by using the Vlookup formula??
    Cheers

    Re: Display last row entered

    From my notes copied from another message I know that:
    =LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A) will return the last numeric value
    of Sheet1 column A
    =LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A) will return the last text entry of Sheet1
    column A
    So if the data in the column is numeric use
    =MATCH(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A),A:A) to show the row number,
    and if textual use =MATCH(LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A),A:A)
    If the last entry could be either text or number use
    =MAX(MATCH(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A),A:A),MATCH(LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A),A:A))
    You can miss out the "Sheet1!" stuff if the formulas are in the same
    worksheet as the data.
    best wishes
