pick up last value

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
not sure i follow you example
Whats the last column mean - you want to return column N

you only show 1 row - which is unsecured row

the headers are NOT dates
so to lookup december

then
=INDEX(B2:N2,MATCH(A5,B1:N1,0))
with A5 = December
will return the value in december
or a grid lookup
if you wanted to lookup column A for unsecured

but as i say not following

can you change the headers to be dates , then you can easily do it
and still disply the headers as december

i only see 1 december in example

changed some of the months to december different years and then formatted MMMM - date shown in row4

will that work ???

not sure wy you posted a link ???

OR if you want the last december to be found - then how about

=INDEX($B$2:$N$2,SUMPRODUCT(MAX(COLUMN($B$2:$N$2)*(A8=$B$1:$N$1))-1))
