    Retrieve data from Column A based on a 1st negative value from Column B

    Hi.
    I have two Columns A and B. Column A has number of months in ascending order and column B has dollar values.
    What I was wished to do was display the month number from Column A when my Column B figure became a negative value.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
