I am looking for the first nonblank in the column. The name will be
different and in a different row every time. Some columns will have more
than one name which I will need to access, but I am pretty sure I could do
that after I figure out how to get the first one. Does that help?

Sherri,

I'm a little confused. Can you clarify a little more? When you say you're
looking for "that name," are you looking for a specific name out of many or
are you looking for the first nonblank "" name in that column?

Can you perhaps provide an example?

Thanks!

Cells A3:A100 each contain a formula which will result in either a name or "

I have many columns of similar formulas and each name will appear in a
different row.
I have tried the lookup, but because each cell contains a formula, I believe
it considers every cell not blank. I hope this is clear.

Thanks,
