Default How do you find the position of the first value (< 0) in a list

I have a list of product sales values by month that go back a few years and I
wish to use a formula to workout the first month in which there was a sale
for each product. Is there a formula that can give a reference for the first
value (<0) so that I can lookup the relative position for the month.

Eg
Month 1 £0
Month 2 £0
Month 3 £0
Month 4 £500
Month 5 £0
Month 5 £450

Therefore 1st month is month 4.
I have tried match and offset but cannot get anything to work.
