Hi I wonder if you can please assist me. I would like to find out how to create a formula that checks a range of cells and counts the number of rows since a specified value occurred last. For example:

If I was looking for the last time 6 occurred it is 3 rows down in Row A therefore the answer would be 3
If I was looking for the last time 1 occurred it is 1 row down in Row B therefore the answer is 1
If I was looking for the last time 35 occurred it is 6 rows down in Row C therefore the answer is 6

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi I wonder if you can please assist me. I would like to find out how to create a formula that checks a range of cells and counts the number of rows since a specified value occurred last. For example:

Since 6 appears more than once in the chart at a lower row number, can we assume you will be specifying both the value to find and the range to search? If so, where will these be specified at? If not, please explain why the second 6 is not the last occurrence.

Hi Rick, yes you are correct I would specify the value I am trying to find as well as the range to search. This would be in a separate column ie. Column G. I only need to count the number of rows since the last occurrence of the number (I would not need to see earlier occurrences of this number)
