Formular to read the last entry in a column

[Dhew]

I am trying to calculate a "latest result" in which I need to read the last
(Not greatest or smallest) figure in a column:
e.g. column H has five figures in it, 100, 75, 70, 50, 65. I want a cell
that will show me the answer or 65, and if another figure is added
afterwards, for my latest result cell to show whatever is in this figure.

How can I do this???

=LOOKUP(99^99,H:H)

Brilliant! I can use this formula, too...

I tried to convert it for rows, but did not suceed. Is there an answer for
this?

For a good general discussion of the last value, see:

[Toppers]

=Lookup(99^99,1:1)

will return last value in row 1

Excellent thank you, but is there any way to make it so that it doesnt
include 0.00's

 

[Toppers]

try:

=INDEX(A:A,MAX(IF(A1:A65535<>0,ROW(A1:A65535))))

Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Thank-you this was one of the formulas I wanted for my log book of flying
hours. It worked great!
