Only display the last entry in a range

[Bobefax]

I have a row of data B3:G3 and a summary cell H3.

Cell B3 C3 D3 E3 F3 G3
Value 12

in H3 this would display 12

If I then entered 14 in D3 it would then show 14 in H3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

What about:

=MAX(B3:G3)

Ian,

Not sure but it seems Bobefax wants in H3 the value of the cell changed most recently in the range B3:G3. That would require VBA, I think.

Sorry,

I should have been clearer your suggestion only shows the highest value.

I need to show any value that is typed after B3 regardless of value, so I am looking to change the value of H3 everytime a subsequnat entry is made in the ros B3:H3.

Thanks anyway.

Ian/Aladin,

Don't think I need VBA (hope not anyways!)

It sounds simple, just to change the value in H3 to match a value in range B3:G3, the values of range B3:G3 will be entered over a period of time (weekly), each Column B-G is a time period, so once entered they will not be changed.

At the end of the period G3 this will be the value in H3, but say after 3 weeks the value of D3 would need to be displayed 8 in H3.

Hope this clears it a bit more!.

Thanks

If you have something like:

Week 1, a value is entered in B3, say 8, C3:G3 is empty as yet;

Week 2, a value is entered in C3, say 5, D3:G3 is empty as yet;

etc., then

H3 will have the value of B3 in Week 1, that is, 8;

H3 will have the value of B3 in Week 2, that is, 5;

etc.

Then that's doable with a formula in H3, but I'm not yet convinced that this is the case.

Any comments?

In H3 array-enter:

=INDEX(3:3,SUM((MAX((LEN(B3:G3)>0)*COLUMN(B3:G3)))))

To array-enter a formula you need to hit control+shift+enter, not just enter.

Aladin,
Would the idex/match function work just as well? Just wondering.

=INDEX(B3:G3,MATCH 9.99999999999999E+307,B3:G3))

Drew,

Having a problem with your suggestion.

=INDEX(B3:G3,MATCH 9.99999999999999E+307,B3:G3))

Seems it may not have pasted across OK.

Only one open bracket but two close !!
