I need the price changes to calculate of the last price value. Data example
In Row 2 the price changed 4.5% from 2019/01 to 2018 & 8.7% in 2019/02 from 2019/01
In row 3 the first price change in column I - 2019/04 at 13.6%.

Question what formula can I use the find the last value which is 22 in 2018 (column B ) & exclude all the percentages?

Thank you

Hi Ian,

A small edit to my original formula (I got inspired by Peter's answer):

Code:
=SUMPRODUCT(INDEX($A$3:$H$3,1,MAX(IF(ISNUMBER($A$3:$H$3),IF($A$3:$H$3>1,COLUMN($A$3:$H$3))))))

This is an array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) and will also ignore text values. The final result looks like that:

Note that Peter's formula also ignores text values and returns the correct result.

Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
.. I get a name error.
Sounds like you must be using an older version of Excel. Try this one instead. It is an array formula so should be entered without the {} but confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter. If confirmed correctly, Excel will insert the {}. The formula can then be copied down and then to the other 'Price change' columns.

Hi Peter

Almost perfect.
When the price increases or no change it takes the last value/correct value. However if the price decreases, the formula ignores the last price & continues to use the price before the decrease.
Do you have any suggestions? I assume some kid of MIN/IF statement is needed for decreases?

Sample data and expected result(s) would help. ;)

Hi Peter

I have some issues to get a file to you via Dropbox

However above table shows the data.
Rows 3,4 & 8 has price reductions up to 2019/03. In 2019/04 (column J) the prices changed but the percentage changes in in column K does not give correct percentages. The expected percentages is in column L

Rows 6 & 7 calculates correctly all the way through. Only difference no reductions in price.

1. What version of Excel are you using?

2. How do you calculate that K7 should be 6.7%? My formula returns -93.3% and that seems logical as a reduction in price from 15 to 1.

Hi Peter

1. Using Excel 2016

2 K7 in my file is 16 then 6.7%, but if 1 then yes -93.3%

I haven't looked at the Dropbox file but I do have another question about the price fluctuating. What should each yellow cell here be & any relevant specifics of the calculation to get it?

Hi Peter

The yellow cell a straight calculation of the price change percentage from the current price to last / previous price. In the example you send each month has a price, which we o no have, but if this was the case & I use column M as reference then the formula would be L4/J4-1 (-25.0%).
