Default Display last row entered


Hi, on a large Spreadsheet, with Data added daily, I would like the last
row of Data added to display on Row 1 at A1, B1 etc. Please advise on
the best option, is it by using the Vlookup formula??
Cheers
Paul

Default Display last row entered

From my notes copied from another message I know that:
=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A) will return the last numeric value
of Sheet1 column A
=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A) will return the last text entry of Sheet1
column A
So if the data in the column is numeric use
=MATCH(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A),A: A) to show the row number,
and if textual use =MATCH(LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A),A:A)
If the last entry could be either text or number use
=MAX(MATCH(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A ),A:A),MATCH(LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),Sheet1!A:A),A:A) )
You can miss out the "Sheet1!" stuff if the formulas are in the same
worksheet as the data.
best wishes

Thanks for the prompt reply, not only prompt but exactly what I needed.
Cheers
Paul.
