    I8:I13 contain formulae of the type (in I9)
    =IF(E9=””,””,I8-E9+F9)
    (that in I8 refers to an absolute reference elsewhere)
    What formula can I put in eg F19 which will return the value of the last not-blank cell in the range I8:I13?
    Nested IFs I suppose will do it, but are very ugly and hard to follow. And can’t be extended if the range grows to >9 rows, I think.
    MAX or MIN won’t do, as non-blank values won’t necessarily follow a pattern.
    Thanks in advance.

        Thanks, John, Steve’s formula involving the jumbo-sized number does the trick for me.
        (Quite why and how defeats me at present!)

          It returns the content of the highest row with something numeric:

          =VLOOKUP(65536,I:I,1)

          will do the same (until there’s a version of Excel with more rows).

            Yes, I’d figured that’s how it worked, and figured equally that the formula as offered contained a Pittsburgh Wind-Up.
            But thanks, still.

      With the Morefunc addin,

      =LASTROW(Range)

      Will accept whole column references.
