Lookup non-blank value corresponding to most recent date

[Toolman67]

Hi All,

I need some help identifying how to return (into column E) the most recent non-blank value in a row (commencing column F), based upon the dates in row 5 of the worksheet.

I've created a worksheet for tracking item price points across customers. Unlike the sample below, there will be 150 columns and 200 rows of data, which is why sorting and filtering won't really deliver the tool that's needed.

Not sure if I need a macro here or if a formula will suffice?

Thanks in advance for your help;

Thanks Marcelo and Robert. Whilst neither solution quite met my need, they got me on the right track.

The solution that I worked out was to include a hidden column to identify the Max date where there was a value using;

=MAX(INDEX(($O$4:$AC$4)*(O8:AC8<>""),))

and to then use an array lookup to determine the value corresponding to the date/row combination using;

=HLOOKUP(K8,O$4:AB8,A8,FALSE)
(column A containing the array row number)

There's probably a more efficient solution, but being novice at working with arrays I'm happy to have a functioning solution.

Thanks again for your prompt replies.
