I have a range of values spread across in rows from A to AA. some cells are empty and some are not. and the cells that are not empty have unordered values. Is there a way to calculate the range between the first cell and last cell which have values? I hope explanation is good. I can do this with extra tables/ cells etc. but would it be possible to do this with a tricky formula? please. thanks. I posted an example image. In the first I would like to know the range between cell Y and cell E. and in the second row, it is between cell x and cell B.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Maybe:
This is an array formula and must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

Your welcome. Thanks for the feedback.
SHG - not sure I understand your question. This is to calculate the number of cells from the 1st value in a row to the last value in the row.

Thanh you so much, U almost saved my day. My problem is that what if I wanted to know the distance from the 1st value to the 2nd, or 3rd or 4th. Not to the last.
