And you don't need to use CSE to commit it.

My bad, =INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(TRUE,A1:A10="",0)-1,0)
Note that in the match formula the last parameter must be zero.

Sorry about that

Thanks Peo, but, (and I probably didn't make myself clear, sorry),


let's say, A4 is first empty, how would I get the cell value of A3?


Hope this clears it up. Again, sorry.

=MATCH(TRUE,A1:A10="",0)


entered with ctrl + shift & enter will find the first and return
the index
number so using A1:A10
and the first empty is in A4 it will return 4

I believe there is a formula that has something about max(row,
etc), but
cannot recall it.


Col A would contain a list of numbers.
I'm trying to find the first empty (blank) cell in col A.
Even tho I could write a macro to do this, I'm needing the cell
formula.


Your help is greatly appreciated!!
