Find the first & subsequent cells to contain text in & repeat
I have a column that contains empty cells and text. I want to return the row
reference of the cells that contain text. For example€¦ A2 = empty cell A3 = empty cell A4 = 2L A5 = empty cell A6 = 2W A7 = empty cell A8 = 2L2W A9 = empty cell A10 = empty cell A11 = 2L2W A12 = empty cell I need to copy this formula down a column. The formula should return 4 then 6 then 8 then 11 etc. The blank cells are randomly placed. I cant sort the data as I have other equations in the sheet. To add to this problem I need to repeat the row number if the original cell (in column A) contains 4 or more characters. So the formula should return 4 then 6 then 8 then 8 then 11 then 11 etc. I have the following two formulas that work but I cant successfully combine them To return row numbers that contain text (Thanks to Biff) =IF(ROWS(C$3:C3)<=COUNTIF(A$1:A$12,"*"),SMALL(IF(I STEXT(A$1:A$12),ROW(A$1:A$12)),ROWS(C$3:C3)),"") Logic test to either carry out the above or repeat the row number in the cell above =OR($C1=$C2,LEN(INDIRECT("A"&$C2))<3) I hope this is clear Thanks for your help. |
