I need to retreive the value from the last non blank cell in a set of cells (not on the same row or column), so, I use this formula:
=LOOKUP(9.999999999999E+307,IF(L65>=0,L65,IF(J65>=0,J65,IF(H65>=0,H65,IF(F65>=0,F65,IF(D65>=0,D65,IF(B65>=0,B65,IF(L50>=0,L50,IF(J50>=0,J50,IF(H50>=0,H50,IF(F50>=0,F50,IF(D50>=0,D50,IF(B50>=0,B50,IF(L35>=0,L35,IF(J35>=0,J35,IF(H35>=0,H35,IF(F35>=0,F35,IF(D35>=0,D35,IF(B35>=0,B35,IF(L20>=0,L20,IF(J20>=0,J20,IF(H20>=0,H20,IF(F20>=0,F20,IF(D20>=0,D20))))))))))))))))))))))))

ok, the issue is: if I use : IF(L65>0,L65 …etc , everything works like a charm, but if I use the >= combination it turn #N/A.
I am really stuck, do not know what to do, I need to use 0 in next cell to clear the value as there is another sheet reading and calculating the last value, so when for an example: this month I have to make these payments, but, next month some of them I shall not pay, so, I need to zero the value for next month.
Thank you for your help

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Hi. I think there should be shorter formulas but this should work:

=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/((LEN(A65:L65)>0)*(A65:L65>=0)*(MOD(COLUMN(A65:L65),2)=0)),A65:L65),IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/((LEN(A50:L50)>0)*(A50:L50>=0)*(MOD(COLUMN(A50:L50),2)=0)),A50:L50),IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/((LEN(A35:L35)>0)*(A35:L35>=0)*(MOD(COLUMN(A35:L35),2)=0)),A35:L35),IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/((LEN(A20:L20)>0)*(A20:L20>=0)*(MOD(COLUMN(A20:L20),2)=0)),A20:L20),"NA"))))
