Hi all, hope all is bright and sunny out there,

Image is an example.

My top row lists product codes.
Each of the following rows contain cells underneath these names which indicates if that product is being used and a date.
I've been able to pull the date from the cell in each row into a separate column (there's probably a way to combine this).
I'd like column 'I' to show the product code from the top row if there is an entry in that column. So 'I2' would show 'D', 'I3' would show 'C', etc etc...

I hope that makes sense! Thanks in advance.

Iain

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

Put this formula in cell I2 and copy down for all rows:

Thank you! This is a very useful function. :)
