Hi!
I have 2 columns A & B that their data are like these
A B
500 0
501 1
502 5
503 0
504 2
505 2
506 4
507 0
508 3
509 5
510 1
511 0

I want to keep the data on column B that way (unsorted) but i want to find the first position the 0, the 1, the 5 etc. is, starting from bottom to top. and for return to get the value of the column A.
So if i want to find the 0 i ll get as result the 511
So if i want to find the 5 i ll get as result the 509
So if i want to find the 4 i ll get as result the 506 and goes on.

Thanks in advance
