Hi.


In sheet one. In cell b20. I want to return last number of column d of sheet2.

B20, just enter:
Rich (BB code):

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet2!D:D)
which delivers the last numeric value from column D.

In case the last text is wanted...
Rich (BB code):

=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet2!D:D)
If column D contains text and numbers and you want the last value (text or number, whichever is the case)...

B19:
Rich (BB code):

=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet2!D:D)
B20:
Rich (BB code):

=IF(ISNA(B19),
    LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet2!D:D),
    INDEX(Sheet2!D:D,MAX(MATCH(REPT("z",255),Sheet2!D:D),
    MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet2!D:D)

The foregoing set ups are fast as intended.
