Excel formula to get first non-empty value and then return value other row












0















This formula:



=INDEX(Q10:XFD10,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX((Q10:XFD10<>0),0),0))



looks up the first non-zero value from column Q till the end in row 10.



And it displays the value present in that cell. Suppose the cell found is V10.

I must display the value in cell V7.



I cannot change the range to lookup the first non-empty cell, because the higher rows are always filled.



There probably are two possible answers

One answer that looks up 3 rows higher (10-7=3) and another answer that looks up in the fixed row V$7.



I need the last option.

  • I think you mean XFD77? In any case, you should be able to use OFFSET() to return the value of the cell three rows before the cell found by the MATCH(().

  • Or you could just do this: =INDEX(Q10:XFD10,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX((Q10:XFD10<>0),0),0)-3)

  • OFFSET works, other suggestion fails. Using 3 - ROW() I get an offset that copies to other rows. All right, thanks.

Suppose the cell found is V10.
I must display the value in cell V7.




Then I'll propose a simple " if (row 10 is not zero ) & if( sum(from the left) = 0 ) " test will do, (assuming cell P10 is empty).



in Q7, put =IF(AND(Q10<>0,SUM($P$10:P10)=0),Q10,"")
