Default Find and Return the Non-Blank entry

use a wildcard for the match and then index to return the value

=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH("*",A1:A4,0))

If this helps, please remember to click yes.

I have a single column range (A1:A4). One and only one of the cells contains
a text entry (cell A3 in this example). I want to enter a formula into A5
that will return this text entry.

Thanks,
Art
