Find "the parent" of the last element with non-blank cells

Dear All,

Could you please help me with my problem?

I have a table with last 2 columns fully populated. I need a parent of those elements from columns from LVL1_ID to LVL6_ID, parent will be first non-blank cell from the right side. So for line first parent is 333 (LVL3_ID), for the second line 111 (LVL1_ID), for third 222 (LVL2_ID) etc. 

 

 

LVL1_IDLVL2_ID LVL3_ID LVL4_ID LVL5_ID LVL6_IDLeaf_element_IDLeaf_element_ID
111222333   xxxElement_1
111     xxxElement_2
111222    xxxElement_3
111222333444555 xxxElement_4
111222333   xxxElement_5

 

I really appreciate support!

Best regards,

Marcin

You can pivot the data and then get the last non-empty value. See attached for an example. Hope this helps!
