I am also looking for a formula toi put in B:2 that will return the value in Row 1x where x is the cloum reference number of the last cell that contains a value in row 2. These formulas will be repeated for each row. I hope that you can understand my request. Many Thanks Allan |

=INDEX($1:$1,MIN(IF($C2:$H2<"",COLUMN($C2:$H2))))
and =INDEX($1:$1,MAX(IF($C2:$H2<"",COLUMN($C2:$H2)))) which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove xxx from email address if mailing direct) "Allan from Melbourne" wrote in message ...

find the first and last non blank cell in a row
Dear Bob,
Many thanks for the response. It worked except I did not provide you with the correct information in the first place. On the second index array formula I would like to return the value of the Row 1x where x is the column where the first non blank cell appears after the run of populated cells. I have tried combining "offset" with this array formula however I am given an error.

Bob,
Thanks, I managed to work it out using "offset". Regards Allan "Allan from Melbourne" wrote: Dear Bob, Many thanks for the response.
