Help re how tho reference the 'next filled in row below'...

Hi


I am hoping for some help to find a way to reference the last filled in row in one column of figures in a single static cell elsewhere (another tab / table), but to have that update when ever a new row is completed with a new value.


So, I will have a column that once a day I add (fill in) a new row below with an updated figure and I want that column to have the full history of updates each day. In the other table I just want to show in a static cell the 'most recent / updated figure' from the column with the history when a new value is added in the next row down as and when it is filled in. In cease it makes a difference the data I will be dealing with is a 'percentage'.


Eg.


TABLE 1:

COLUMN HEADINGS: 'DATE' 'VALUE' 'VALUE CHANGE' 'PERCENTAGE CHANGE'

ROW 1 06/04/21 1000 0 0%

ROW 2 07/04/21 2000 1000 100%

ROW 3 08/04/21 2500 500 25%


TABLE 2:

CELL A1: [always the last value from the 'PERCENTAGE CHANGE column in Table 1 - updating when ever a new row is competed in that column].


Many thanks for any help offered in advance...

Assuming that there are no empty cells above thee last entry in column D of Table 1, you could use INDEX and COUNT.

COUNT counts only cells containing numerical or quasi numerical values. The +1 is needed to include the cell in row 1, which contains text, not a number.

The modern function XLOOKUP can search from the bottom up. Here it finds the last non-blank value, whether or not there are blanks in the sells above the last entry.




=XLOOKUP(REGEX("."),Table 1::D,Table 1::D,"",2,-1)


The REGEX simply means match any character. So here it will match any non-blank cell.
