Return first date populated
I have a spreadsheet with 24 months across the columns. The rows contain
customer names. The cells contain data beginning with the date that amounts were transferred into the department. Is there a function that will allow me to look across the columns and return the first date that is populated? I tried to use a conditional if statement, but the number of periods are greater than the number of conditions allowed? -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

If the dates (if any are entered) just happen to be in ascending order:
=IF(COUNT(A1:J1),MIN(A1:J1),"") Format as Date If the dates are random try this array formula** : =IF(COUNT(A1:J1),INDEX(A1:J1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(A 1:J1),0)),"") Format as Date ** 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 "Pleasehelp via OfficeKB.com" <u27204@uwe wrote in message news:953df1a279d74@uwe...

Dates are arranged in ascending order in Row 1. The data contained in the
cells is the $ value of the receivable as of that date. It is column H I am trying to populate. A B C D E F G H Acct # Name 11/30/2008 12/31/2008 1/31/2009 2/28/2009 3/31/2009 1stDate 1234567 ABC Co $10,001. 27 $10,001.27 2/28/2009 2345678 BCD Co $47, 161.57 $47,161.57 2/28/2009 3456789 CDE Co $10,000.00 12/31/2008 4567890 DEF Co $5,500.00 ???

I see now, the dates are the column headers.
The array formula** I suggested will do what you want. Just change the references to suit. =IF(COUNT(B2:G2),INDEX(B$1G$1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER( B2:G2),0)),"") Format as Date ** 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 "Pleasehelp via OfficeKB.com" <u27204@uwe wrote in message news:953ee28251ebc@uwe...
