Hi there, I'd like to find the second non-zero value in a range (A13:A200) and have the output be in A9. So, in the example below, "Wilson, John" would be the output in A9. Hope this is easy. Thanks in advance!

Reconfirming basically what Fluff has said ..

The cells contain 0, not "0"...
That actually isn't so, per the red part of your formula below.
Sure.
In A13... =IF(AND($F13="Yes",A$12>=$J13,A$12<=$K13),$D13,"0")

So, try the post #4 formula, or, if you really want zero number values rather than zero text values, change you formula to
=IF(AND($F13="Yes",A$12>=$J13,A$12<=$K13),$D13,0)


BTW, even if the 0 values are numbers, not text, the post #6 code will fail in at least a couple of circumstances:
i) If all the formulas are returning text values (only one area of text values)
ii) If the first text area contains more than one value (1st value from 2nd area will be returned rather than the requested "second non-zero value")

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.

My mistake! Yes, I tried Post#4 formula and it works beautifully now. Thank you all for your help!
