in my work sheet i want to get the last 5 cells of a column and display them in 5 other cells.

i used the formula below and dragged it down 5 to show the last 5 cells and it worked to an extent but if the last 5 cells are all the same it messes up and doesnt show the last 5 cells;

=INDEX(AC51:AC76,MATCH(99^99,AC51:AC76,1)-1)

please can anyone help me?
 
still coming up with '0'

i thought it woud have the code below but it comes up with '0' on that aswell.

=INDIRECT("AC" & COUNTA(AC:AC)+29-(ROW()-52))

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.

g4 to g8 is were it should show the last 5




G4: =INDEX($C$3:$C$11,MATCH(REPT("Z",255),$C$3:$C$11)-ROWS(G$4:G4)+1)

that just comes back with true and false

you dont have to input the formula G4=INDEX($C$3:$C$11,MATCH(REPT("Z",255),$C$3:$C$11)-ROWS(G$4:G4)+1)

I meant that in the cell G4, you input the formula=INDEX($C$3:$C$11,MATCH(REPT("Z",255),$C$3:$C$11)-ROWS(G$4:G4)+1)

Hi dannyi21i,
give this formula a try
=INDEX($C$4:$C$11,LARGE(ROW($C$4:$C$11)-ROW($C$3),ROW(A1)))
It must be entered with CTRL SHIFT ENTER and then drag it down.
