    Question Number of Months to Reach Target

    Hi All,

    From Column A to Column J, these are my monthly sales figures.
    From Column L to Column U is the cumulative sales figures.

    I would want to write a formula to calculate cell V4 (highlighted in blue), which shows how many months it takes to exceed the target of 28,000 (cell P1).
    I have previously done this through a combination of index with the cumulative figure but can't seem to solve it this time.

    Many thanks for your help

    Try

    =MIN(IF(L4:U4>=P1,L3:U3)) Ctrl Shift Enter

    Great Thanks.
    Would there be a solution without using arrays?

    Try this non-CSE...

    =INDEX($L$3:$U$3,MATCH(P1,$L$4:$U$4,1)+(LOOKUP(P1,$L$4:$U$4) < P1))

    What if P1 was < 12,000?
