I am trying to use the =MATCH("zzzz";$A2:2) function to find the column containing the last non-empty cell in row 2 of my worksheet (containing text values).The value returned (4) implies that the cell D2 is non-empty, even though it appears to be so, and the EQ function says its content is equal to that of the truly empty neighboring cell C2.If I copy C2 onto D2, or if I select D2 and choose "delete value" from the menu, the problem is fixed. The correct behavior is displayed in rows 5 and 6.
Actually the problem originally occurs in a much larger worksheet, and I cannot afford to fix all "pseudo-empty" cells manually. One first step would be to figure out what is the hidden content of cell D2, which is considered empty by the EQ function but not by the MATCH function.
Is there any simple way to do that?
