Hello. Is this phrase correct?
"As of your last question, the answer is no"
The implied meaning is 'speaking of your last question' or 'As for your last question'
Thanks in advance.
 
No. Say 'As for your last question ...'

See Rover KE's response. But "to" would also work. "As of" is usually used with reference to a period of time, e.g. hours, days, weeks etc. : "As of today I have not received the package."

Sakura11, please note that I have changed your thread title. Titles should include some or all of the words or phrases you are asking us about.
 
I'd avoid all three of As of, As for, and As to, and use In answer to.

We normally use as for something when the idea is to say something about something. Here, the idea is not to say something about the question, but simply to answer it.
