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!

Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"

Define BigNum by means of Formulas | Name Manager as referring to:

=9.99999999999999E+307

Consider...

A1: 6 ( a value whose instances we want to count)

B1 : Lrec

The data starts in C2 (column C) and grows rowwise (horizontally).

A2, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Code:
=SUM(IF(INDEX(2:2,B2):INDEX(C2:INDEX(2:2,B2),
    LARGE(IF(ISNUMBER(C2:INDEX(2:2,B2)),
    COLUMN(C2:INDEX(2:2,B2))-COLUMN(C2)+1),
    MIN(8,COUNT(C2:INDEX(2:2,B2)))))=6,1))

B2, just enter and copy down:
Code:
=MATCH(BigNum,2:2)
