Help in finding Value in Index Array
I am trying to search a column (C5:C400) to find out when it runs to a null
value, then search down a different column (G) starting from that same row and return the first positive number found. Can anyone help? I've been using the following as a starting point, but I'm stuck on how to complete it. =INDEX(MATCH(TRUE,G5:G4000),MATCH(TRUE,C5:C400=0, 0)) Thanks! |

One way
=INDEX(C5:C400,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(INDEX(C5:C400,MATC H(1,(G5:G400=0)*(G5:G400<""),0)):C400,0)0,0)+MAT CH(1,(G5:G400=0)*(G5:G400<""),0)-1) entered with ctrl + shift & enter -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "George" wrote in message ...

Help in finding Value in Index Array
Hi Peo,
Thanks, but the formula below returns the first value in column C (after row 5), but I am actually looking for the first positive value in column G after column C declines to an empty cell.

I misunderstood, I thought you were looking for zero in column G, this will
work =INDEX(C5:C400,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(INDEX(C5:C400,MATC H(TRUE,G5:G400="",0)):C400,0)0,0)+MATCH(TRUE,G5:G 400="",0)-1) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "George" wrote in message ...

Hi Peo,
Sorry but that returns the C5 value (column G is zero at that point, if it helps). I need the first positive number in column G after column C is empty.

Help in finding Value in Index Array
Either I totally misunderstood what you wanted or you are not using the same
cell references/formula as posted because it does return the first value in C5:C400 greater than zero starting from the first blank cell in G5:G500. This is what I have starting in G5 0 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 8 9 so the first blank is below -7 in C22, this is what I have starting in C5 0 -17 -16 -15 1 -13 -12 16 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 0 0 0 0 5 6 7 8 9 10 the first value greater than 0 starting in row C22 is 5 in cell C28 and that is what my formula returns -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "George" wrote in message ...

Help in finding Value in Index Array
You have to be *very* precise in your terminology!
What *exactly* do you mean by "null value"? Empty (blank, unused) cell Zero length string ( "" ) 0 in cell -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "George" wrote in message ...

By null value, I mean the cell will be Empty (blank, unused).

Then this should work
=INDEX(C5:C400,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(INDEX(C5:C400,MATC H(TRUE,G5:G400="",0)):C400,0)0,0)+MATCH(TRUE,G5:G 400="",0)-1) array entered -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "George" wrote in message ...
