Assuming that B1 contains your header, and B2:B11 contains your data,
try...

=INDEX(B2:B11,MATCH(1,(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B11,RO W(B2:B11)-MIN(ROW(B2:B1
1)),0,1)))*(B2:B11<""),0))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. To include
formula blanks "", change...

(B2:B11<"")

....to...

(1-ISBLANK(B2:B11))

Hope this helps!

Is there a worksheet function that can lookup the first value in a column in
a list that has been filtered?

In all cases the value will have been part of the filter, but done through
an autofilter (not an advanced filter).

Thanks, Eric
