Default Find the first or last populated column in a range

"Commish" wrote in message

...

I have a range of data, from columns C through Z.
And I have about 100 rows of financial data. The rows represent
projects, and the columns represents periods where costs were
incurred. So, some rows have data from C-Z, and others have data from
H-M.
How can I write a formula in column a1, to tell me which was the first
column to have a value in row 1? And, likewise, I want to know which
column has the last value.

What type of data is in the cells? Text? Numbers? Both? Any formulas that
return formula blanks?

Exactly what result do you want? The column letter?

Biff, the data is either numeric, or empty.

The column letter is fine, but ideally I'd want the value in a
specific row on the answer column.



Which row?
