Find last non-empty cell in a column without using LOOKUP (VLOOKUP is OK)
I'm looking for help with a formula to find the last non-empty cell in a column. Technically, none of the cells are "empty" though. Many contain the empty string ("").
I'm sharing these spreadsheets on Google Sheets and the LOOKUP function requires some additional "sorting" or something that I don't have in my spreadsheet, so it results in errors.
Can this be accomplished using the VLOOKUP function, or another method that doesn't require the LOOKUP function?
Thanks!!!
