Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.

The purpose of the exercise is to determine how far down a worksheet a
"Cumulative Hours" formula needs to be copied, so I don't have a column
containing unnecessary identical cumulative values where there isn't a
corresponding actual (the X axis, actuals and cumulatives are in columns B, C
and D)
I'm trying to do this in VBA - not in the actual worksheet.
Sorry if I wasted your time before!

Two steps:

1. determine the lowest non-zero number: =SMALL(B10:B25,1) and if this is
zero use =SMALL(B10:B25,2)

2. find the row: use MATCH() on the result of step 1

Good morning all,

Can anyone suggest a quick way of returning the row number of the lowest
cell in a range (e.g. B10:B25) that contains a non-zero value? I thought of a
nested loop where the value of each cell is tested and the row number stored
is to a varable if it is greater than the value already stored there, but
this needs to be part of a worksheet_change macro and it might slow things
down too much doing things in this way.

Thanks in advance
