Hello All, i am in a pinch.

I have read several threads and the content looks great. I just haven't found a solution for my challenge yet.

Here it is, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

my screen shot: 2014-09-05_1302 - willgrimmer's library

I have 8 cells in columns A-H in Row 3. their contents are

-5, 5, -2, 4, -2, 10, 4, 11

in Cell K1 = 3

I need a formula that will tell me which position in Row 3; where after the value in K1 has been exceeded, I need the position of the next time i have a value of less than or equal to "Zero". Looking at the data, the answer should be "3", but I am having a hard time using "Match" and "Index" and "ISNA" formulas that are not working.

Any insight would be Greatly Appreciated.

thanks in advance.

^ Yes, it uses the same principle. One CSE to find the first greater-than cell. Use that to define the range and find the first negative.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
