Find the first value in a row and sum n columns

[pete]

Hello,
Don't know if this easy or not.
I am trying to write a formula that finds the 1st value in a column
that is >0 and then sum that value and the next 4 columns across.
For example my formula is in D2 and I want to find the 1st value to the
right of the formula that is >1 and add up that value and the next 4
values to the right of this

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Pete

Hi!

One way:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=SUM(OFFSET(D2,,MATCH(1,(ISNUMBER(E2:IV2))*(E2:IV2>0),0),,4))

Adjust for the end of the range as needed.

Hmmm.....

that finds the 1st value in a column that is >0

find the 1st value to the right of the formula that is >1

Well, which is it? <g>

I wrote the formula to look for the first number greater than zero.

Hi,

Try,

=SUM(INDEX($E$3:$I$3,0,MATCH(TRUE,$E$3:$I$3>0,0)):INDEX($E$3:$I$3,0,MATCH(TRUE,$E$3:$I$3>0,0)+3))

Array entered.
