Creating a list
I have a spreadsheet with numbers and text spread out across columns. I need
to search across the columns by row and return to the "A" column the first value found either number or text. Is there such a formula? |

Try this array formula** :
=IF(COUNTA(B1:J1),INDEX(B1:J1,MATCH(TRUE,B1:J1<"" ,0)),"") Copy down as needed ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Pirate" wrote in message ... I have a spreadsheet with numbers and text spread out across columns.
