Hello All,

i have a table like a following one (of course, mine is bigger) that is coming from a query:

Countries01/01/202001/02/202001/03/202001/04/202001/05/2020
Argentina00300025000
Australia01000015003000
Austria15000003000
Belgium00020000
France10000004000
Italy03000000


In the same file i have i have a cell, let's say B2. In B2 i'll insert all the time a different date.

What i'd like to do is to now, is obtain a new table where i'll have, for every single row (country):
  • First value>0 starting from the date greater or equal to the one in B2
  • The date (column header) where the value >0 has been found

Example:
If B2= 01/03/2020
my table will be:

CountryValue (>0 for dates >=B2)Date (only dates>= B2)
Argentina300001/03/2020
Australia150001/04/2020
Austria300001/05/2020
Belgium200001/04/2020
France400001/05/2020
Italyblank cause nothing>0 has been found for B2>=0blank cause nothing>0 has been found for B2>=0

For the VALUE column i was thinking to apply the following:
  • IF formula to check if the date in the column header is >=B2, and if this is true then check if the value is >0. IF both conditions are true then provide me the value. IF one of the conditions is false check the next column header/value.
For the DATE column i was thinking to apply the same as before but with a different order:
  • check at first if a vale in the row is >0 and if this is true check if the date (column header) is >=B2. If both conditions provide me the column header, otherwise proceed with the next cell and repeat the operation
For both operations i don't know how to set up a formula that will repeat the operation to next cell in case one or both conditions will be false. Does anybody knows how to do it?

Anyway, this would be my approach. All the solutions to reach a layout like the second table will be really appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
