Lookup the Last Value in Excel [XLOOKUP & INDEX / MATCH]

Looking up the last value is usually not the default when you perform lookups with various lookup functions. However there are times when you want to find the last item in a list or array that matches a criteria. With the newer XLOOKUP function, it makes this job very easy. The only catch is that XLOOKUP is on newer version of Excel. If you didn't have the latest Excel version, you can still perform a lookup for the last item and that can be done with a combination of the INDEX and MATCH functions.

    Nice one Doug! For the old method, have to remember to enclose the 1/(match test) in parenthesis or it will fail. Thanks for the reminder. XLOOKUP makes it so much easier! Thumbs up!!

    How would find the last value, if Items contained Item 1 and Item1A and you wanted the last value with either Item1 or Item 1A?

    Great comparison between the 2 methods, thanks. Does that mean I can safely put Index/Match to peace, for this is slightly more workaround to achieving same results? Also, what happens if I send my workings to folks who don't have 365 will the formula break?

    If you’re not expecting stakeholders to collaborate and update then XLOOKUP is the way to go when you don’t know if they have M365. Otherwise it’ll be the INDEX/MATCH method.

    Looking for a way to use the xlookup or some function to return the 2nd to last value, or 3rd to last value, etc. Any recommendations?
