In Excel 2007 I have a table which is constantly being updated where I have to run counts of certain values in the last 8 non-blank entries in each row. Blank columns in each row vary. All entries are numeric.
So for example I need to count the number of fives and sixes in the last 8 cells in each row that contain a value.
Short of constantly changing my formulas as the number of entries change, I can't think how to do this!
Define
BigNum by means of Formulas | Name Manager as referring to:
=9.99999999999999E+307
