Last cell in a row and the one before

[samahiji]

Hi

I have a function that return the last non-blank cell in row:

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A2:BD2<>""),A2:BD2)

I want now to return the 3 cells before it so at the end I have return the 4 last non-blank cells in the row!

Any one could help?

What do you have in A2:BD2 - text or number?

They're mixed between date and text.

D5, just enter:

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,SEARCH("?",A2:BD2),A2:BD2)<strike></strike>

D6, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy across:

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$BD$2,

It doesn't work for me!
I have XXX rows, then my index should be $A$2:$BD$XXX??

if have the table above in your post, then M1 should have the last value of row 1 (A1:L1), N1:P1 should contain the last 3 cells. And copy down.

Try to implement the sample and the formulas in a separate sheet to understand the set up...

I've tried it, but i worked for one row only. I have XXX rows!

If it works for one row, it will certainly work for XXX rows. Try to adapt the set up.

That's great!!!

I only changed the index from $A$2:$BD$2 to $A2:$BD2 and work perfect

It's really amazing function, I didn't understand it very well ;D
