I have 30 years of time series data for which I would like to obtain approximate median dates for. The data looks like this:

DateLive
12/27/19761
1/9/19771
2/22/19771
2/23/19771
2/24/19771
2/27/19771
3/1/19772
3/2/19772
3/3/19778
3/6/19771
3/7/19773
3/8/197724
3/9/19775
3/10/19775
3/11/19772
3/13/19771
3/21/19771
3/23/19771

Looking for an elegant way in Excel to return the date once the median (cumulative total for live)/2 is reached. I have tried using dget but since more than one record exceeds the median threshold, this returns an error. Does anyone have a suggestion for achieving this?

03/03/19778the formula putting the 1 in cell next to 24 is
03/06/19771
03/07/19773=IF(AND(SUM($B$2:B13)>$H$3,SUM($C$1:C12)=0),1,"")
03/08/1977241
03/09/19775easy to use offset match to find the 1
and move 2 to the left to return the date
