From your formula I guess you may be trying to find the first number. Try
this array entered.

=INDEX(A1:A1000,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(A1:A1000),0))

I need a formula to help return the value of the first not null cell in a

cell in a column (LOOKUP(99^99,Sheet1!A:A)), but I need the first not the last

Thank you for your help
