Seems simple, but...Please Help!!!
 
I'm looking for a function that will return the value of the first non-blank
cell in a range.

Try...

=INDEX(A2:A100,MATCH(TRUE,A2:A100<"",0))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Hope this helps!

Try this entered normally if TEXT
=INDEX(A2:A100,MATCH("*",A2:A100,0),0)

But if not text or not necessarily text, the following array formula
would find it.

=INDEX(A2:A100,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(A2:A100),0))
