Consider a data having the form

data = 1,7,4,6,1,6,4,8,2,4,9,2,E,...,1,4,6,3,4,4,6,2,E,...,...

i.e., some number $n_1$ of rows followed by row $E,...$, then some number $n_2$ of rows followed by row $E,...$ and so on.

Could you please tell me how to leave only the last rows before $E,$, i.e. to obtain

subdata= 2,4,9,2,4,4,6,2,...?

Try SequenceCases:

data = 1, 7, 4, 6, 1, 6, 4, 8, 2, 4, 9, 2, E, 1, 2, 3, 
 1, 4, 6, 3, 4, 4, 6, 2, E, 4, 5, 6
SequenceCases[data, p_, E, ___ :> p]

yields

2, 4, 9, 2, 4, 4, 6, 2

The most idiomatic solution to this problem is, in my opinion, pattern matching (as Sakra has also answered):

SequenceCases[data, x_List, E, ___ :> x]

2, 4, 9, 2, 4, 4, 6, 2

But the problem also lends itself to functional solutions, e.g.:

pairs = Partition[data, 2, 1];
If[#[[2, 1]] == E, #[[1]], Nothing] & /@ pairs

2, 4, 9, 2, 4, 4, 6, 2

Or in one go:

BlockMap[If[#[[2, 1]] == E, #[[1]], Nothing] &, data, 2, 1]

2, 4, 9, 2, 4, 4, 6, 2
