Default Sumproduct help with a difference

hi All,

i understand how sumproduct works but i want to return the column
number of the first true(1) citriea within the sumproduct function.
see below example

Result row 2 4 6 7 5 6 6 (range
is a2:a7)
Data row 2 3 4 3 3 4 2 (range is
b2:b7)

=sumproduct(--(b2:b7=3),--(a2:a7)) this formula will return
=sumproduct({0,1,0,1,1,0,0}, {2,4,6,7,5,6,6}) and the answer of 16

what i want to do is work out formula that will return the only the
3rd (1(True) within the sumproduct function) value therefore the
answer should be 7.

any thoughts??
