units sold in first week of sales

[realsongs]

Hi all,

I would be grateful as usual if I could get some help on two formulas.
I have a sales table arranged by week. In this scenario I have products which arrive into the business at different times. I am trying to figure out one formula to tell me how many units were sold in the first week of sales, and then another to tell me what week the first sale was made ( as illustrated in the table shaded in yellow)


any help would be much appreciated!!

N4:N7	N4	=MINIFS($B$3:$K$3,B4:K4,">"&0)

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.

Formula in cell M3:

=INDEX($B3:$K3,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($B3:$K3<>0,),0))

Formula in cell N3:

=INDEX($B$2:$K$2,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($B3:$K3<>0,),0))

Also, I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

etaf's solution uses the MINIFS function, which came around in Excel 2019. So if you are using an older version, you won't be able to use that.
