Search Columns for a word and stop
I have a problem I am trying to solve, which is hard to explain:
I have a spreadsheet that in row 1 starting in column B has the months: Jan Feb Mar Apr ...........Dec (Columns B to M), in column N It has "Last start selling" The cells below the month show when the items have been sold.... in Column N. I would like a formula in Column N (Last Start Selling) which keeps on searching for the word Sold until the next column to the left is Blank. The it stops and picks up the month from row 1 (this is the easy part...) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Last start selling Item1 Sold Sold Sold Oct Item 2 Sold Sold Sold Dec Item 3 Sold SoldSold Sold Jun I hope this makes sense.... Thanks, mac |
