    Skipping blank cells

    Hi

    I'm a noob when it comes to excel and need some help

    I need a formula that skips blanks and return the first value in a range of numbers

    I would like A2 to show the value in D1 and so on

    I've been playing around with indirect and aggregate but it doesn't seems to be working

    Re: Skipping blank cells

    Thank you
    But then I would like B2 to show to value of E1
    The sum of row 1 and row 2 should be the same

    If you want that, you should have mentioned it in the OP.

    Try, A2=INDEX(1:1,MATCH(TRUE,1:1<>"",0)+COLUMNS($A1:A1)-1), copy across.

    Re: Skipping blank cells

    Are you really using Excel 2016 or something newer?

    Are the real values in the real data numbers or text?
