Your formula returns 4 instead of 2
ex. a1=4 (text value), b1=2, c1=5, d1=1, e1=0, f1=2

Apparently you missed this:

Assuming the range will only contain numbers.

Is there a function that results/looks for the first single positive
(non
zero) value in a Horizontal Array?
For example:
A B C D E F
Row 1: 0 2 5 1 0 2
Return the value that will be the first positive in the array, which
will
be
"2".
