When operating on an Excel data table, sometimes it is necessary to quickly locate the last non-empty cell in a certain column. What we are discussing here is a continuous data area. In the previous article, we introduced the use of [Ctrl]+, OFFSET+COUNTA function combination, INDEX+COUNTA function combination to quickly locate the last non-empty cell, and I will introduce you today Another function to achieve.
For example: as shown in the figure below, in the following, we store two columns of data, column A is the number of the operator, column B is the work date;
Now, let's analyze the problem. Each operator records in chronological order. At the same time, the operation number of each operator is duplicated. The problem is that each operator may repeat operations. How can we quickly indicate the last operation time of each operator?
In cell E2, use the formula:
=LOOKUP(1,0/($A:$A=D2),$B:$B)
You can get the result, and you can use the filling tool to pull down, as follows:
Formula description:
LOOKUP(1,0/($A:$A=D2),$B:$B)，翻译为中文，应该为：
LOOKUP (1,0/(data search range = condition), the data range that needs to be returned after the condition is met)
Through the above method, we can find the last value of the same value in excel. The operation is more complicated, so please check the tutorial carefully.
