Hi everybody,
This seems like it will probably be an easy one for those of you who are better than I am with Google Sheets formulas.

I have columns R through AC marked JAN, FEB, MAR and so on for the months of the year, with staff rows starting at 3 with a simple X per staff member who attended a meeting that month. All I'm looking to do in column AD is to show the last month that has an X in the cell per staff member.

In the example above, column AD for rows 3, 4, and 5 should read:

3 - JAN
4 - MAR
5 - FEB

Thank you very much for your help on this!
 
In that case just enclosed it in IFNA

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Got it Fluff.

I just combined your 2 formulas and it work perfectly!

Excel Formula:
=IFNA(LOOKUP(2,1/(D3:O3="x"),D$2:O$2),"")
