Thx Max,
This worked to find the start period, how can this be changed to find the
end period too? Also as some assignements will have work done on period 3 no
work on period 4 and is completed on 5 i need the 5th period returned.
Thanks,

Assuming the periods are labelled in B2:F2,
with data running down in B3:F3, B4:F4, etc
Put in say, G3, and array-enter the formula,
i.e. press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER:
=IF(COUNTBLANK(B3:F3)=5,"",
INDEX(B$2:F$2,,MATCH(1,--(B3:F3<""),0)))
Copy G3 down

Hi,
I have a list of periods, with assignments starting and ending at
different
periods. I need a formula that can search each row, find the first no
blank
value and get the corresponding period.
Is there a formula that can do this as my VB understanding is limited.
thx
