    Eliminate the first blank cell from a list.

    In the example I have a list of names and payments made. I have tried to generate a unique list of unpaid names but I am getting blank in the first cell in the list (cell P3 in the file). So far I have been unable to resolve this issue.

    Here's another way to extract the list of people with balances using an array formula. Cells with formulas are highlighted in green. Does this work?

    Non-array solution

    =IF(ROWS(A$1:A1)>COUNTA($F$3:$F$37)-COUNTIF($F$3:$F$37,"paid"),"",INDEX($C$3:$C$37,SMALL(INDEX(($F$3:$F$37<>"paid")*(ROW($F$3:$F$37)-ROW($F$3)+1),),COUNTIF($F$3:$F$37,"paid")+ROWS(A$1:A1))))

    Copy down as far as needed
