I can't figure out a way to get this to work.
I need a formula for each month A2:L2 which gives me a value from the SERIAL NO column in the DataSheet. The criteria is always the last cell in each month (For demo I have shown in A4:D4 which SERIAL NO's i'm aiming for). I've been looking for something that can find the point in column A (MONTH in DataSheet) where the number increases by 1 and the return the SERIAL NO from the cell just before the number increases. But even if I had figured that out, I see a problem for December, since there is nothing but a empty cell after the last entry

Here's both sheets and the workbook.

You would need to have actual dates in A1:L1 for the 1st of each month & then use
Excel Formula:
=AGGREGATE(14,6,Tabel10[[SERIAL NO.]:[SERIAL NO.]]/(Tabel10[[DATE]:[DATE]]>=A$1)/(Tabel10[[DATE]:[DATE]]<=EOMONTH(A$1,0)),1)

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
You would need to have actual dates in A1:L1 for the 1st of each month & then use
Excel Formula:
=AGGREGATE(14,6,Tabel10[[SERIAL NO.]:[SERIAL NO.]]/(Tabel10[[DATE]:[DATE]]>=A$1)/(Tabel10[[DATE]:[DATE]]<=EOMONTH(A$1,0)),1)
I'll Try it out when I get there. It has been another great learning experience. Thank You!! 🙏

Hi again Fluff...I guess I didn't think that a few columns in the Months Sheet would change everything (The downside of not fully comprehend what is going on after all)
I tried transferring the formula to my project, but the something happened because I have 3 columns before the column where I enter the formula. So now I get April result in January etc. because COLUMNS($D$2:D$2) is {4}
What can I do?

This will return 1 not 4
Changing D to A returns 1 again

Even though, it seems to only work right when "Serial No" is in a sequence. If the values of "Serial No" is random I get this weird results. Only July show the right value...

That's because I wrote the formula for the data you posted.

Oh...yes, and it worked. I thought I could transfer it to my project. I should have been more clear...sry! Sometimes I think I have made it clear enough....but it easy to think that when I know what I want.
I should have made it clear that the formulas criteria have to be based on month. More precise the point where month changes in column A, from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. When that is found I need it to get the value in "Serial No." column just before it changes to a new month (Well it is actually an amount, but I didn't think that was important)
