I am looking for a formula that will give me the last value in a column of figures. I am sure this has been posted before but I could not find it in search
Many Thanks

For instance, to find the value of the last used cell in column A, use this formula:
=OFFSET(A2,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A2:A65536),0)
I found this formula by Rory in post 168137 by searching for “last cell column”, search option “And”.
Try something like:
=OFFSET(A2,0,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,2:2)-1)
if your formula is in A1. You will need to adjust the cell and row numbers according to where your formula is and which row you’re looking in. (It’s basically the same formula as for columns, but swapping the 0 and the MATCH expression round in the OFFSET function)
HTH.
