Return Cell Column of the Cell that contains text within a Range

[ExcelDalziel]

Hi All,

Please see the attached.

I have a series of columns containing due dates for different rows. I want to be able to automatically select the payment due date from the column by using a formula that has the following logic "if row range contains text, return due date from the column of the cell that contains text within the range".

Thank you so so much in advance for your help!

In B3 copied down:

=INDEX($D$2:$K$2,MATCH(99^99,$D3:$K3))

Set cell formatting to SHORT DATE.
