how can I return the value of the first not null cell in a column
One way, array-entered* in say, B1:
=INDEX(A1:A100,MATCH(TRUE,A1:A100<"",0)) *press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:17,400 Files:358 Subscribers:55 xdemechanik --- "NHH" wrote: I need a formula to help return the value of the first not null cell in a column, I know the formula that returns the same but in the last not null cell in a column (LOOKUP(99^99,Sheet1!A:A)), but I need the first not the last Thank you for your help |

From your formula I guess you may be trying to find the first number. Try
this array entered. =INDEX(A1:A1000,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(A1:A1000),0)) Mike "NHH" wrote: I need a formula to help return the value of the first not null cell in a column, I know the formula that returns the same but in the last not null cell in a column (LOOKUP(99^99,Sheet1!A:A)), but I need the first not the last Thank you for your help |
