    How do I find the First Blank Cell in a Row & Return the Value Adjacent to the Blank Cell

    How do I find the First Blank Cell in a Row & Return the Value adjacent to the Blank Cell?

    In the attached pic. In the row range (F3:I3), I need to locate the blank cell (I3) and Return the Value "3" in the adjacent cell (H3).

    I've tried a little of everything (Arrays, nested formulas like Match, etc) with not much luck. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Try this:

    =INDEX(F3:I3,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(F3:I3="",0),0)-1)

    Try one of these array formulas**...

    =INDEX(F3:I3,MATCH(TRUE,F3:I3="",0)-1)

    If you need an error trap:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(F3:I3,MATCH(TRUE,F3:I3="",0)-1),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.
