Another Excel Question
Let's say I have the following column in excel:
A 211 212 210 209 ... The list will grow over time, and at the bottom of the list, I want a simple delta: =a1-aX Where aX is the last entry in the column. However, I want to make it so that the formula doesn't have to be updated every time I add a number to the bottom of the list. Is there a way to make a floating anchor like that, or am I going to have to find the value of the last non-empty cell and then reference that cell? |

You could count how many entries in the list with COUNT or COUNTA and then use OFFSET to "step" down to that number:
=A1-OFFSET(A1,COUNT(A:A)-1,0) |
