I'm a bit confused:
All but one of the fields in this row will provide me with a FALSE
response.
sounds like only one value will be TRUE, but
I try using the following statement to find the column reference of
the one and only FALSE statement:
says only one value will be FALSE. And your formula, when array-entered,
creates a boolean array (BB16:DA16<"") based on whether the cell is
blank, not the value in the cells themselves. It will find the first
non-blank cell.
If you really mean that only one value in the range will be FALSE, and
you want to find it, use
=MATCH(FALSE,BB16:DA16,0)

Thanks for your help. How would this formula change if I am looking for
a false value within a row full of true values. In this instance, I
have a row full of "if" formulas which read as follows:
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(DA$6,UPPER($D16))),"",DA$6) (In my spreadsheet, the
DA$6 fluctuates from BB$6 through to DA$6 on the row being evaluated.
All but one of the fields in this row will provide me with a FALSE

This formula is extracted from the formula you provided me. In the
Functions Argument dialog box, the result of this formula displays
correctly. However, the result that displays in the cell is the error
message "#VALUE!".
What do you think I can be doing wrong? Thanks again for your help.
