A row contains a series of diminishing numbers. I am looking for a formula
to identify the first zero occuring in the row and return the date contained
in the same column but higher row.
Any help is appreciated.

Here is an example with rows 8 and 9

=INDEX(8:8,,MIN(IF(9:9=0,COLUMN(9:9))))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
