cell address for first value to appear in a range

Let me try to make this more concrete.
Given the range H5:S5, how do I return the cell address of the first
cell in that range to contain a value?
Here's an example of the data:
H5 | I5 | J5 | K5 | L5 | M5 | N5 | O5 | P5 | Q5 | R5 | S5
* * * * * * * * * *1 * * 3 * *5 * * *6 * *3
I want to get Excel to return the address K5, as that is the first
cell, from left to right, in the range H5:S5, that has data in it.
Hopefully this is more clear.
Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, if you know the range, don't you already know the first cell
address?
Or do I not understand what you need.
Does this work?
=ADDRESS(ROW(H5),COLUMN(INDEX(H5:S5,1,1)))
or
=ADDRESS(ROW(H5),COLUMN(H5))
HTH,

=MATCH(1,--(H5:S50),0) entered as an array formula returns 4; this
value is in cell K5. *How can I get that cell address returned?
Thanks.

OK, I answered this question on my own...something like
=CELL("address",OFFSET(I5,,(MATCH(1,--(I5:T50),0)-1))) entered as an
array returns the cell address.
Thanks,
Dave
