    Simply by the order... I want the first number to be the last, the second to be the second last, the third to be the third from last etc.

    What I need is to take a column and "Turn it upside down"

    Re: rearranging data

    Assuming your data is in row A1 to A5 put the formula
    =ROW()
    in
    cells B1 to B5.

    Then you sort your date in range A1 to B5 by selecting "Sort by" colum B and "Decending"

    Maybe this?

    =INDEX($A$1:$A$100, COUNT(A1:A100))
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    OP is from Denmark so formula should be:

    =INDEX($A$1:$A$100; COUNT(A1:A100))
