Hello,
Looking to find the Last Occupied Cell to complete the Range of Cells in a formula.
Using 'Test' L:L. Replace the $J$27 with a formula to find the address of the last non-blank cell. ie $N$20, to complete the formula in L:L.
Thank you.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

To do that and use it will involve using volatile functions like INDIRECT as suggested above. I would be trying to avoid using volatile functions if possible.

What about something like this instead?

Hello,
I added your formula but I'm getting a decimal? Some values have been added, it done automatically.

Yes, I forgot to allow for all the 'blank' formulas below your numerical data. Try this instead.

Excel Formula:
=IF(J20<>"",SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR((J20<=J$20:J$1000)*(J$20:J$1000<>"")/COUNTIF(J$20:J$1000,J$20:J$1000),0)),"")

Its still showing a decimal.

It is not for me - see below. However, I cannot replicate your sheet exactly as I do not have the data from columns E, F & G which are required to produce the column J values. So I have had to use the values as shown for J20:J32.

Can you post your mini sheet again after hiding columns H & I and then select E19:L35 to produce your mini sheet.
I suspect the issue has to do with rounding of decimal values.

Here's the sheet.
Thanks. Unfortunately that doesn't allow me to fully check since some of those extra formulas that I can now see are drawing from another workbook that I cannot see.
However, I am now almost certain that the problem is related to rounding as I mentioned before.

The values that we can see in the mini sheet in column J are not the true underlying values in those cells. To demonstrate, below I have put the calculation part of the column J formulas in column N. You can see that the two yellow cells are not the same as what is showing in column J. I'm pretty sure that there is more than that though. What happens if you re-format columns F & G to show say 5 decimal places? Does it then show any different values in those columns compared to what we can see in your mini sheet above?

One more thing to test, in an empty cell, what does this formula return?
=COUNT(J20:J1000)

If nothing still stands out as a likely problem, what happens if you change the column J formula to this?
=IF(E20<>"",ROUND((F20*4.55)-(G20*5),2),"")
