find the last entry that was made in a column

[Jlrdeect]

I have a column of numbers that I am continually adding to, I want the bottom cell in the column to equal the last entry I have made As I add new ones the bottom one will change

[shg]

You mean you want to always enter the numbers in the top cell of the column and have them move to the bottom?

That can't be done with formulas.

Hi Jlrdeect and welcome to the forum

We would love to help you with your question, but 1st, please rename your thread to something more meaningful, that actually describes your problem. lots of contributors will look at a thread title, and if it is of interest to them, or falls within their area of expertese, they might only open those threads. also, searching for ""help"" will not turn up too many results that will benifit you, sorry. Look at it this way...if you typed that title into google, what would you expect to get back?

in the column(say column C)..Under your last entry(say row 110), enter this:
=C109
drag this down
if this is a fresh column use in C2: =C1, drag it down
however...why do you want the last entry to equal the one before it???

I was afraid how I said it would not be understood. Let me try again.

I am tracking numbers in a column for a production run. as I produce and at certain time intervals I enter a number in a column for the task. Now I have a summary page which is looking at each of these columns and on this paticular column I want only the last entry to show up on my summary page. It is easy to do when you are summing a column it will keep adding as you enter and you just enter =the sum from page x cell y which is your sum. but instead of having sum or total I just want to report on my summary page the last entry that was made so instead of the sum be let say in the total cell or box it would be the last entry. If I was replacing the old entry each time I entered a new one it would be easy but i want to keep the prior entries and just enter a new entry below and have my summary look at the very last one automatically and report it on the summary page or sheet

I hope I have not made this even harder to understand

That was part of my problem finding it in the help section for formulas in excel I was not sure how to describe the formula

[shg]

This returns the last number in a column:

=index(b:b, match(9e307, b:b))

Thank You

[Jlrdeect]

Hi SHG,

I used the =index(b:b, match(9e307, b:b)) and I was wondering if you could tell me why 9e307 was used?

The formula worked great!! But I'm confused as to why 93307 was used.

Thank you
