Question
Hi Tom,
Can you tell me if a formula exists that will return the farthest value to the right in a row? For example, I want the formula to be written in cell A1 and look at all cells to the right of A1. If there is some value in cells B1 through AC1, I want it to display the value in AC1. If on the next day additional data is entered in AD1 through AT1, then I want the formula to return the value in AT1.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jim
Jim,
will the values be numbers. If so you could use
=IF(COUNT(B1:IV1)=0,"",INDEX(B1:IV1,1,MATCH(9.999E+307,B1:IV1,1)))
worked for me with numbers. If it would be characters/text, post back. If Excel 97, change the IV1 to reflect the last column in the worksheet.

Tom Ogilvy
