Greetings,

I had help on this forum with this question a month ago, and am following up. Initially, I thought I only needed only the cell entry most adjacent to a #N/A entry. Now I am needed that + the second most-adjacent data as well. Formula suggested was: =TAKE(FILTER(G2:NB2,NOT(ISNA(G2:NB2))),,-1). I tried this: =TAKE(FILTER(G2:NB2,NOT(ISNA(G2:NB2))),,-2) and am getting a

I'll upload the data file for reference. I'm trying to parse multiple complex data files and extract limited information. Data is from acoustic doppler flow data in a river. First three rows have yellow highlights for the data I'm trying to return.

Many thanks!

Eric
