Return Last Column With Value

Rate this:
(3/5 from 1 vote)
ConfusedI have an excel spreadsheet with column headings and row headings.  The column headings are dates while the row headings are drawing numbers.  Each time a drawing was revised an x would go under the date it was done.  There are multiple x's per row. I was looking for a formula that would produce the most recent date of each drawing.  If that is not possible a combination of the dates would also be acceptable.

You will need to use a user defined function in VBA to determine the last used column location with an X value.  Once you have the column, you can apply this to the row number with the dates to get the last date either in VBA or via a formula INDIRECT.

The user defined function will take the row range such as:

VBA Code:
Function LASTCOL(rngRow As Range) As Variant 
Dim tmpRange As Range
  Dim i As Integer, cnt As Integer
  Application.Volatile
  Set tmpRange = rngRow.Rows(1).EntireRow
  Set tmpRange = Intersect(tmpRange.Parent.UsedRange, tmpRange)
  cnt = tmpRange.Count
  For i = cnt To 1 Step -1
      If Not IsEmpty(tmpRange(i)) Then
         LASTCOL = tmpRange(i).Value
        Exit Function
      End If
  Next i
End Function

Thanks for the help, but I am still having trouble finding a function to find the column number.

You can change the user defined function slightly by returning the column number instead of the value.  To do so replace LASTCOL = tmpRange(i).Value with LASTCOL = tmpRange(i).Column
