    Array Formula Lookup - Bring back Lowest Date + Bring Back Cell Location

    Greetings

    =MIN(IF(B3:B32="",IF(A3:A32>0,A3:A32))) ArrayedOldest Date Array.xlsx

    Following on from a previous post need to add to my (forums) array.

    I need to find the location of a date which has been looked up in a cell based on the above formula which is in the attached.

    Help is always appreciated.
    Thank you

    Matt

    =ADDRESS(MATCH(C4,$A$3:$A$32,0)+ROWS($A$1:$A$2),1)
    Does that work for you?

    It doesn't seem to like looking at the array's earliest date that it brings back.

    I wonder if it is because there are more than 1 potential cell locations with the same date. Which in that case would mean that I would only need the first location it can find, lowest row location.

    Re: Array Formula Lookup - Bring back Lowest Date + Bring Back Cell Location

    The formula provided by ChemistB returns cell address $A$7 which is corresponds to the date in C4. If you want to incorporate earliest date into his formula you can do it too

    =ADDRESS(MATCH(MIN(IF(A3:A32>0,A3:A32)),$A$3:$A$32,0)+ROWS($A$1:$A$2),1)

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
