Hello, I am trying to find the latest result of a blood test. I have two repeating columns in the data - the Follow up date and then the result (stretching for 10ish columns). I want to start the result to show the number in the latest column e.g. F2 and if blank, go to D2 and return the latest result AND the corresponding date at an adjacent column (otherwise I won't have any idea which date it is from).

Is there a way to actually do this in the normal excel or do I need to 'make' some tools? I am a beginner but an eager learner.


Thanks

Hi Dante!

Thank you for your reply.

Would it be possible for your to explain that for me please? I tried but it wasn't working exactly (it didn't return any value - didn't say any error either). Why is the lookup value '2' ?

Hi Dante, I just tried again and it worked - thank you!
