    Smile Finding last instance of cell with stock

    At first i thought this was a very simple problem, but i seem to have been stuck on this for two days now. See below a list of data. The first column shows the stock level (this will constantly change and is based by formula). The second column is the part number and the third is the order number.

    What i need to do is in the 4 column (based on formula) find the last instance of the part number that has stock. if you take part number ZTAR-AT492AV as an example the first two instances have used their stock on that order number, so the third instance which has stock should show the order number in the fourth column, because the third instance still has stock the fourth instance should return a blank (same as 1st and 2nd) in the fourth column, until the stock on the third instance has depleted. When the stock has depleted the third instance fourth column should turn to blank and then the fourth instance fourth column should show the order number.
