LASTCOLUMN

Description
Returns the last value from a column.

Syntax
LASTCOLUMN(value, column1, column2, ...)

Value_column
is the column that contains the value you want. The column can be a text, number, or date column.

Column1, column2,... are up to 30 optional columns that define the aggregation context. The first value is returned for each unique combination of the group_by columns.


When the result of LASTCOLUMN is given as the final value for a new column in a transform worksheet, as in the example below, each row will get the value of LASTCOLUMN that corresponds to its particular aggregate values.

If no group_by columns are provided, the first value in the column is returned.


Example

In the following we see how LASTCOLUMN works with a numeric column and a single aggregation column. The calculated value is entered in each row.
