In Worksheet Data, I have an unpopulated column 'a' and 6 columns 'b' through
'g' which may have data in all or only one of the columns. I would like to copy the 1st 10 bits of data from the 1st of columns 'b' through 'g' that is populated. Then I would like to copy the resulting data in column 'a' from Worksheet Data to column 'g' Worksheet Report. Many thanks jpg |

One interp & a formulas play ..
In Data, Put in A1's formula bar, then array-enter the formula (press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER): =IF(ISNA(MATCH(TRUE,B1:G1<"",0)),"",INDEX(B1:G1,M ATCH(TRUE,B1:G1<"",0))) Copy A1 down to say, A10 to cover the max expected extent of data in cols B to G Col A will return the leftmost populated cells from cols B to G Then in Report, Put in G1: =IF(Data!A1="","",Data!A1) Copy down to G10 -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "JPG" wrote: In Worksheet Data, I have an unpopulated column 'a' and 6 columns 'b' through 'g' which may have data in all or only one of the columns.

Hi
Many thanks for help. I have tried the recommended solution. Unfortunatly, only response is to return #VALUE in column B1 thro B12; MS Excel Help tells me that I should ensure that the Function is not using an incorrect argument.
