Here, we have a sample dataset containing Customer Name, Gender, Loan Purpose, Job, and Credit Risk. As we can see, there is repetition in the dataset. Snoop, Almanda, and Catherine have data more than one time, so we want to know their last data for Credit Risk. We will see several methods for Excel Find Last Row with a Specific Value in this article.

6 Easy Methods to Find Last Row with a Specific Value in Excel
Throughout this post, we will see the use of MAX, INDEX, SUMPRODUCT, LOOKUP, MATCH function, and a VBA code to do our task easier.
Method 1:Â Find Last Row with a Specific Value Using MAX Function
Using the MAX function we can easily determine the last row number for a specific value.
Steps:
- First, type the following Formula in cell I5.
=MAX(IF($B$5:$B$15=H5,ROW($B$5:$B$15)))
- Now, press the CTRL+SHIFT+ ENTER key. ( If you are using Excel updated version from 2019, only pressing ENTER key will do).
- Finally, drag down to AutoFill rest of the series.
Formula Breakdown
- IF($B$5:$B$15=H5,ROW($B$5:$B$15)) yields the result as {5;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE;15}. Where 5 and 15 indicates the Row number for Catherine.
- And finally, MAX Function will take 15 as the maximum number and give us the result.

Method 2: Using SUMPRODUCT Function to Find Last Row with a Specific Value
To find the last row with a specific value, SUMPRODUCT is another function we can use.
Steps:
- First, type the following formula in cell I5.
=SUMPRODUCT(MAX(ROW(B5:F15)*(B5:B15=H5)))
- After that, press ENTER key or CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER in case you are using Excel 2019 or below of that version.
- Now, drag down to AutoFill rest of the series.
Formula Breakdown
- ROW(B5:F15)*(B5:B15=H5) gives us the output as {5;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;15}
- SUMPRODUCT(MAX{5;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;15}) will give the final output as 15.

Method 3:Â Find Last Row with a Specific Value by INDEX Function
Till now, we saw the use of functions to get row numbers. This method will give us the exact value in the last row.
Steps:
- First, we have to type the following formula in cell I5.
=INDEX($F$5:$F$15,SUMPRODUCT(MAX(ROW($B$5:$B$15)*(H5=$B$5:$B$15))-4))
- Now, press the ENTER key.
- Finally, drag down to AutoFill rest of the series.
Here, the function SUMPRODUCT(MAX(ROW($B$5:$B$15)*(H5=$B$5:$B$15))-4 gives us the result 11. 11 indicates the Row number in the table. As you can see, in the worksheet the last Row is 15, but data in our table started from Row 5 that’s why we use -4 in the formula.
Then, formula =INDEX($F$5:$F$15,11) will yield the output Very High.

- First, type the following formula in cell I5.
=LOOKUP(2,1/($B$5:$B$15=H5),$F$5:$F$15)
- Now, press the ENTER key.
- Finally, drag down to AutoFill rest of the series.

Method 6:Â Find Last Row with a Specific Value by VBA
In our last method, we will see a VBA code.
Steps:
- First, right-click on the sheet and go to View Code.
- After that, copy and paste the VBA code below.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Function MylastrowFunction(SpecificValue As String, SpecificRange As Range, LastColumnNumber As Integer)
Dim i As Long
For i = SpecificRange.Columns(1).Cells.Count To 1 Step -1
If SpecificValue = SpecificRange.Cells(i, 1) Then
MylastrowFunction = SpecificRange.Cells(i, LastColumnNumber)
Exit Function
End If
Next i
End Function
- After that, press the F5 or play button to run the code.
- Now, type the following formula in cell I5.
=MylastrowFunction(H5,B5:F15,5)
- After that, press ENTER key or CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER in case you are using Excel 2019 or below of that version.
- At last, drag down to AutoFill the rest of the series.
