worksheet.

I don't understand the question, what do you mean by that?
Do you mean the last value as in

a
b
c
d
e

where "e" would be the last value?

=OFFSET($A$1,COUNTA(A:A)-1,)

will find the last value in column A assuming there are no blank cells
in-between

Thanks for the feedback!


Yes, here are some formulas, if you know the last value is numeric you can
use this

=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A:A))

if you know the values are text

=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(REPT("z",255),A:A))

and if it's either text or numbers

=INDEX(A:A,SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A1:A65535<>"")*ROW(1:65535))))
