Default finding 1 formula result in a group of cells

I have ten cells in a row that have a formula in each. Only one of the cells
will display a result at any one time but it changes depending on the date. I
need a formula that will find the cell displaying the result and display it
in a single cell in another worksheet

Default finding 1 formula result in a group of cells

Assume the 10 cells are in A1:J1 in Sheet1
In another sheet,
you could use this, normal ENTER:
=INDEX(Sheet1!A1:J1,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(TRIM(Sheet1!A 1:J1)<"",),0))

Success? Savour it, click the YES button below

If the other cells results are blank, you might try
=Max(YourTenCellsAddressRange)

The earlier expression is generic. It will work regardless whether the result
to be returned from that group of ten cells is numeric or text.

Provided the number is positive.
Otherwise

=Sum(YourTenCellsAddressRange)
