Hi All,




I need help creating an excel sheet for my project. I am posting my excel sheet data for your attention:

Here you can see that I have columns (Department Names - Merged - You can say it Primary) and progress date, inwards and outwards numbers (Single Columns - not merged - You can say them secondary).


Now I want to get the current status of my file. I am trying to get the last non-blanked cell (or you can suggest me if there's another way) by using some logical formulas (if, or, and = "") but failed to get the results. Please help me solving this problem.


Best Regards!

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
Do you want the last used cell in a row OR a column ??
Do you want the value in that cell or the address of that cell ?

Thanks, Michael for your reply. Sorry for the late reply as I am having some problems with my laptop.

Well, I want the last used cell in a row and result in Z4. But the question is that how I get the appropriate location (for example last used is N4 where my project is "Sent to Director (M2), Marketing (H1) on Date (N4). That's the problem from which I am trying to sort out.

Will you please help me in sorting out my problem?

Thanks.

Yeah, I can understand your confusion Michael. Well, I am giving an example that last filled or used cell is N4 and remaining all cells are blank or not used. Column Z is the current status column so the result or the current status of the project file is that it is sent to director marketing on date 12-jul-2018. So the value in Z4 should be the same (M2 & H1 & N4).

Hope you understand what I want.

Is it so that you want the value in Z4 to equal the value in M4 as soon as you change the value in N4?

I'm trying to understand what you really want here, but can't really see it.
What do you mean by "the last non-blank value"?
All cells in the picture you showed here are non-blank.
Which one is the last?
