Hi, I have a range (G3:Z3) where the cells will always be filled starting from column G. I have been able to get the last completed cell in range using;

=INDEX(G3:Z3,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,G3:Z3))

what I'm looking for is the 2nd last, 3rd last completed cell in the range.

Is this possible?

Thanks, Steven
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
This seems to work fine:

=INDEX(G3:Z3,LARGE(INDEX(((G3:Z3<>"")*(COLUMN(G3:Z3))-COLUMN($G$3)+1),0),2))

The 2 at the end means it picks up the 2nd last.
