Hi all - this spreadsheet is for tracking volunteers at a wildlife center. I need a formula that returns the first date that a volunteer showed up this year. Each cell from BN7 down and right contains the number of hours that each vol worked on each day. So basically, for each vol, I need a formula that returns the date in row 5 that corresponds with the first non-blank cell for that vol past BN. Dylan should return 1/3, Sarah and Irfan should return a blank or an error or whatever, Casey should return 1/7, etc.

I think it should involve ARRAYFORMULA and maybe SORT but past that I'm pretty stumped. Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
I figured it out with help from a reply on the Excel forum, but in case anybody comes across this:

=ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX(BN$5:PN$5,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(BN7:PN7),0)))
