Hard to explain what I'm trying to do in the title.

There is a link to the screenshot below, I'm having problems trying to add the image to this post

In column F: i want to find the cell with the lowest last number.
In this case it is F1791 as highlighted.
The last number could be anything from 1 digit to 5 digits long

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
What do you meant by "find the cell"... do you want the cell selected, colored, its row displayed in a MessageBox, something else?

Its row displayed in a MessageBox would be great.

What would then occur if there are more than one number sharing the lowest?

OK I've finally worked out how to post a screenshot, this is where I'm hoping to get a message box to tell me the the row which contains the lowest last number. In this case its E1791 which ends in 5135, but these final numbers could be from 1 digit up to 5 digits

If there's more than 1 row sharing the lowest last number it would be helpful to display them all in a message box.
Give this macro a try...
Code:
Sub LowestLastNumber()
  Dim R As Long, LastRow As Long, MinNum As Long, RowNum As Variant, LastNum As Variant, Data As Variant
  LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
  Data = Range("F1:F" & LastRow)
  MinNum = Evaluate("MIN(0+TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(F2:F7,"","",REPT("" "",100)),200),100)))")
  For R = 1 To UBound(Data)
    If Data(R, 1) Like "*," Then
      LastNum = Split(Data(R, 1), ",")
      LastNum = LastNum(UBound(LastNum) - 1)
      If LastNum = MinNum Then RowNum = RowNum & ", " & R
    End If
  Next
  RowNum = Mid(RowNum, 3)
  
  MsgBox "Minimum Number Row(s): " & RowNum
  
End Sub

      LastNum = LastNum(UBound(LastNum) - 1)
      If LastNum = MinNum Then RowNum = RowNum & ", " & R
    End If
  Next
  RowNum = Mid(RowNum, 3)
  
  MsgBox "Minimum Number Row(s): " & RowNum
  
End Sub

Message box appears but doesn't give a row number

Is your data in Column F like your example showed?

yes exactly as the example shows

At the end of every row there is a space after the last comma, not sure if this will effect anything that you're code is looking for.
