NOTE: I intend to make this a “one stop post” where you can use the Correct way to find the last row. This will also cover the best practices to follow when finding the last row. And hence I will keep on updating it whenever I come across a new scenario/information. Unreliable ways of finding … Read more

Since you are dragging across rows, you really only need to freeze the row part: =(B0+4)/A$0 Keyboard Shortcuts Commenters helpfully pointed out that you can toggle relative addressing for a formula in the currently selected … Read more
I think I get what you mean. Let’s say for example you want the right-most \ in the following string (which is stored in cell A1): Drive:\Folder\SubFolder\Filename.ext To get the position of the last \, you would use this formula: =FIND(“@”,SUBSTITUTE(A1,”\”,”@”,(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,”\”,””)))/LEN(“\”))) That tells us the right-most \ is at character 24. It does this by … Read more
Try using this: =ISNUMBER(SEARCH(“Some Text”, A3)) This will return TRUE if cell A3 contains Some Text.
Excel does not have any way to do this. The result of a formula in a cell in Excel must be a number, text, logical (boolean) or error. There is no formula cell value type of “empty” or “blank”. One practice that I have seen followed is to use NA() and ISNA(), but that may … Read more
