Automatically use the newest number input in the formulas

I have to update this YTD calculations every month. I get an input to put in
for Nov, and the YTD formula will take the Nov number and calculate the
answer. When i get the Dec input, i have to change the formula to refer to
the Dec input instead of NOV input. this gets really annoying when i have 100
tables.

In your formula, replace N30 with:
LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,N:N)

This expression will pick up the last numeric value in column N
