Text 6 60 60 Use of REPT function

Text 11 110 Text 11 2 150 =LOOKUP(9.99999999999E+307,B:B)
Text 12 120 Text 12
Text 13 130 Text 13 9.9999999999999e+307 is the largest number that you can enter in Excel
Text 14 140 Text 14
Text 15 150 Text 15 To get the LAST value in a list

If a list contains both alpha and numeric values

3 Text 15 =INDEX(C:C,MAX(MATCH("zzzzzzzzzz",C:C),MATCH(9.9999E+307,

MATCH("zzzzzzzzzz",C:C) -> returns the position of last text value

MATCH(9.9999E+307,C:C) -> returns the position of the last nume

now using MAX we will get the maximum value

Now to get the last value we used INDEX function.

The 3rd formula would error out if the list contains either text or n
In this case the following would work irrespective of all kind of valu

=INDEX(B:B,LOOKUP(9.999E+307,CHOOSE({1,2,3},MATCH("zzzzz
4 #N/A
99E+307,B:B),MAX(MATCH("zzzzzzz",B:B),MATCH(9.9999E+307,B

CHOOSE returns array of values

1 #N/A =MATCH("zzzzzzz",B:B)
2 15 =MATCH(9.99999999999E+307,B:B)
3 #N/A =MAX(MATCH("zzzzzzz",C:C),MATCH(9.9999E+307,B:B

4 15 =LOOKUP(9.9999E+307,CHOOSE({1,2,3},#N/A,15,#N/

Now LOOKUP returns the last numeric value, i.e 15.

5 "z"s is considered the largest string Excel can handle.

zzzzzz",C:C),MATCH(9.9999E+307,C:C)))

307,CHOOSE({1,2,3},MATCH("zzzzzzz",B:B),MATCH(9.99
zzzzz",B:B),MATCH(9.9999E+307,B:B)))))

9999E+307,B:B)

Break MIN(ABS(E1-B2:B6))

200 =MIN(ABS($E$1-B2))
200 =MIN(ABS($E$1-B3))
500 =MIN(ABS($E$1-B4))
250 =MIN(ABS($E$1-B5))
400 =MIN(ABS($E$1-B6))

200 =MIN(D9:D13)

Break ABS(E1-B2:B6)

200 =ABS($E$1-B2)
200 =ABS($E$1-B3)
500 =ABS($E$1-B4)
250 =ABS($E$1-B5)
400 =ABS($E$1-B6)

200 =MIN(D17:D21)

Now MATCH(MIN(ABS(E1-B2:B6)),ABS(E1-B2:B6),0)

1 =MATCH(200,{200,200,500,250,400},0)

Tom =INDEX(A2:A6,1)

Since we are looking for an exact match, MATCH returns the first name Tom though Tom and
name Tom though Tom and Kris got same values.

Table =Sheet1!$D$39:$E$42
a10 a
a20 b
a30 c
a40 d

if we break OFFSET(A2:A32,ROW(A2:A32)-ROW(A2),,1) we would get the following

{"a10";"a11";"a12";"a13";"a14";"a15";"a16";"a17";"a18";"a19";"a20";"a21";"a22";"a23";"a24";"a25";"a2

now incorporating the above within SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(A2:A32,ROW(A2:A32)-ROW(A2),,1)), the resu

{0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;0}

now MATCH(1,{0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;0},0) yields 21

now INDEX(A2:A32,21) returns "a30"

VLOOKUP("a30",Table,2,0) returns c

You can make custom message in a cell where you can define two conditions

if the condition for B10 is <100 "Not OK", >=100, "OK"

OK

102 OK

If you need the cell to show the value as well as the message;
see B13
Custom format the cell as

[<100]# "Not OK";[>=100]# "OK";General
