I have a range that looks like this:

D1 D2 D3 D4
0 0 0 2
0 1 1 2
2 2 1 2

The top row is dates

For each row below the date row, I want to find, starting from the right and moving left, the first 0 or 1 and then get the date on top of that column. I gather this is a Hlookup, but I can't visulize it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gene Klein
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Sort by date Sort by votes
With you posted data in A1:D4
This formula returns the date heading for the first cell equalling 0 or 1, searching from the right side to the left
Code: 
E2: =LOOKUP(2,1/(A2:D2<2),$A$1:$D$1)
Copy that formula down through E4

Is that something you can work with?

Thank you for the quick reply. I changed it to suit my ranges, but the following keeps giving me an error. I can't see why.

Thanks in Advance, Gene Klein

Code: 
=LOOKUP(2,1/(U2:AG41<2),$u2$1:$ag$1)

Did you mean this:
Code: 
=LOOKUP(2,1/(U2:AG41<2),$u2$1:$ag$1)
to be this:
Code: 
=LOOKUP(2,1/(U2:AG2<2),$U$1:$AG$1)

Note: that formula works for Row_2 data. Don't apply it to rows 2 through 41 in one formula.

Does that help?
