Default Find and Return the Non-Blank entry

the number of rows in the column will vary.
I forgot to mention that cells A1:A4 do contain
a formula. All evaluate to an empty string
except for cell A3


Try this...

=INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH("?*",A1:A10,0))

resolve
this issue.

Sorry,

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
