My question:

I need to have a cell at the top of my sheet always show me what the value is in the last populated cell of one particular column.

Can this be done with a formula? I have tried everything I can think of and looked everywhere I know. Please help!

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.

Which column is it? What kind values does this column have -- numeric?

Lets say that the column of interest is B.

If B1 is in use, insert a new empty row, then in the new row

in B1 enter:

=INDEX(B:B,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,B:B))
