Display text from a single cell in a column range
I need to display the text from a single cell in a fixed column range, but
the location of the cell with text in it varies. The fixed column range I have is P25:P40000. This column range will either be completely blank, or will have a single cell within the range that will contain text (could be cell P48 one time, cell P2705 the next, cell P30 the next, etc.). If there is a cell with text in it somewhere in column range P25:P40000, I want to be able to display that cell's text in cell Y5. Any ideas? |
