Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
this formula will give you the column number of the cell in row 1 where the last occurrence of number 2 is:

=MAX(IF(A1:AB1=2,COLUMN(A1:AB1)))

A1:AB1 is your range. Enter the formula using Ctrl+Shift+Enter as it is an array formula.
