find the first blank cell in a range and return me it's position
Hi,
in my invoice sheet I want to look up on the sales sheet the first blank cell in a range (c10:c500) and return me the cell adjacent to the right of it i.e the formual finds c20 is the first blank cell and it returns me the cell to the right, the next invoice number avaiable, 121 anyone any ideas how to achieve this please thanks steve |
If there will be no filled cells in the range below the first blank
cell, one way: =INDEX(D10:D500,COUNTA(C10:C500)+1) OTOH, you might want to look at a different way of storing invoice numbers: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/sequentialnums.html In article , "steve alcock" wrote: Hi, in my invoice sheet I want to look up on the sales sheet the first blank cell in a range (c10:c500) and return me the cell adjacent to the right of it i.e the formual finds c20 is the first blank cell and it returns me the cell to the right, the next invoice number avaiable, 121 anyone any ideas how to achieve this please thanks steve |
