Jump to the Last Cell with Data in a Column in Google Sheets (Hyperlink)

Have you ever found yourself scrolling endlessly through a Google Sheets document to find the last cell with data in a column? It can be a tedious and time-consuming task. But fear not, because I have a juicy secret to share with you!

The Keyboard Shortcut

Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+↓, we can easily jump to the cell just above the first blank cell in a column. This is useful when there are no blank cells between the values. But what if there are blank cells? How can we jump to the last cell with data in a column? Well, my friend, that’s where the power of hyperlinks comes into play!

Creating a Hyperlink to Jump to the Last Cell

Creating a hyperlink allows us to jump directly to the last cell with data in a column. It’s a simple and efficient solution that doesn’t require any coding knowledge.

To create the hyperlink, follow these steps:

1. Click on any cell in the sheet and select “Get a link to this cell” from the right-click menu.
2. Right-click on the same cell again and select “Paste” to insert the copied link.
3. Remove the cell ID from the end of the pasted link.
4. Find the cell ID of the last non-blank cell in the column using the formula: =ArrayFormula("A"&MATCH(2,1/(A1:A<>""),1)).
5. Combine the URL in the copied link with the formula from step 4.
6. Edit the formula in the cell to create the hyperlink using the hyperlink() function.

And voila! You now have a hyperlink that will take you directly to the last non-empty cell in the column. It’s like magic!

But wait, there’s more! What if you want to jump to the last row in a table, not just a single column? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

Creating a Hyperlink to Jump to the Last Row of a Table

Jumping to the last row of a table requires a slightly different approach. Instead of considering a single column, we need to consider multiple columns in the table.

To create a hyperlink to jump to the last row of a table, follow these steps:

1. Use the formula =hyperlink( "Sheet's URL" &ArrayFormula("A"&MATCH(2,1/(A2:A&B2:B<>""),1)+1), "Jump" ).
2. Replace the “Sheet’s URL” with the URL of your own Google Sheets document.
3. Adjust the formula to combine the necessary columns using the ampersand sign.

And just like that, you can now easily jump to the last row of any table in your Google Sheets document. It’s a game-changer!

Conclusion

Say goodbye to endless scrolling and hello to efficient navigation in Google Sheets. Creating hyperlinks to jump to the last cell with data in a column or the last row of a table will save you time and frustration.
