I create a lot of ledger spreadsheets, including date,doc

I have a formula in the balance column that tests for data in the
item column to show the balance otherwise I put a space there
[=if(c23="";"";g22+d23-e23)], so the balance does not display down
the page.
That said, I am trying to figure out how to put the last amount (not
space) in the balance column in a formula to display the balance at
the top of the screen, refer to it in a consolidated sheet, etc.

I assume you have a set of consolidated data cells. I would try
=sum(balance range).
When I described how I might use the data in the last cell, I wanted
to be vague because I did not want a solution that would only work
under specific circumstances. Actually what I want is a
formula/function that will give me the amount in the last cell in the
column that has a numeric value.
Short answer to your question: no, I do not have a set of consolidated
data cells.
your sum function seems to want to sum a series of cells. I only want
the numeric value in the last cell in a column.
Hi. Possibly you could use VLOOKUP or MATCH to find the first space, and
then return the row above, possibly needing an index column. If you have
trouble searching for the space you could use a regular expression.
