In Excel, Return The Last Non Zero, Non Blank Number

by James Climer 26. October 2009 08:56

I have a spreadsheet that I planned to populate as the data became available.  As I enter the data, I'd like to keep running totals based on the current state, which requires knowing the last entered value in the column.  To do this, I defined my range, and used the INDEX function and the COUNTIF function to return the last, non-blank and non-zero item in the list. 

Here is my formula:

INDEX(B4:B30,COUNTIF(B4:B30, ">0"))

This will return the last cell in column B from row 4 to 30 that is not blank and greater than zero.
