How do I get a cell to display the value of the last cell in a column excluding one of the values?
Hi All,
I have a column in a project plan with a droplist of certain values. I want to display the value of the last cell in the column that has any value except Not Started.
Would someone please provide a suggestion?

Got it! I had to put [ ] around each reference to the column name!

You can use a combination of
INDEX,COLLECT, andCOUNTIFto find the last non-"Not Started" value in a dropdown column. Here’s a formula approach that should work:=INDEX(COLLECT(Project Status:Project Status, Project Status:Project Status, <> "Not Started"), COUNTIF(Project Status:Project Status, <> "Not Started"))

One thing that might be important: the values live in child rows to parent rows in the project plan
