How to return the last value in a column

[#1]

Hi All,

I have searched and searched through these questions and I can't find an answer that works for me. I have a table with multiple columns like so:   

Date	Feb FC	Mar FC
1-Jan	35	33
2-Jan	37	34
3-Jan	38	35
4-Jan	40	36
5-Jan	42	37
6-Jan	37	38
7-Jan	34	37
8-Jan	43	40
9-Jan		41
10-Jan		42
11-Jan		40
12-Jan		44
13-Jan
14-Jan
15-Jan

I want to return the last value that is not null in the column and use it in a chart. I tried bottom() and looked into firstsortedvalue() to achieve this but I was unable to come up with a solution. Assuming this data will change daily (as more values are added) how would I find the last value in the column and return it as the Month to date value (ie JanMTD would be 43). From this data set I would then need to create table with a Month column and the corresponding MTD value like so:

FC	Feb	Mar
Forecast	43	44

Many thanks!!

May be this:

FirstSortedValu({<[Feb FC] = {"=Len(Trim([Feb FC])) > 0"}>}[Feb FC], -Date)

FirstSortedValu({<[Mar FC] = {"=Len(Trim([Mar FC])) > 0"}>}[Mar FC], -Date)
