So simple but I would never have got there.

Thanks very much

Hi Ben

In F2 use the formula and copy down
=LOOKUP(2,1/(A2:E2<""),$A$1:$E$1)

To handle the error for blank rows use the below version
=IF(COUNTA(A4:E4),LOOKUP(2,1/(A4:E4<""),$A$1:$E$1),"")

Hi, I have a gantt chart which has columns headed by dates

A B C D E F
1 10/12 17/24 24/12 31/12 1/7
2 Do A
3 Finish B
4 Start C

I would like to put a formula in colum F to show the date that the action in
the row will be completed by. The real worksheet has 52 columns in it so
using an IF statement isn't an option. Each row will only have one entry in
it.

Thanks for any help
