Return Cells in a Sequence that's Greater then Zero

[Johnboy1]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find a solution to my predicament and having attempted a number of ways (fuelled by similar older posts on here), I'm still not getting completely the right result.

In short if I had six columns of random numbers: 10 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 5
How do I get Excel to return all numbers greater than Zero: 10 | 10 | 5

The Formula should ignore all Zero cells and must not repeat cells, the latter being the problem with the below type of formula
=IF(A2>0,A2,IF(B2>0,B”,IF(C2>0,C2,IF(D2>0,D2,IF(E2>0,E2,IF(F2>0,F2,""))))))

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your suggestions.

in H2
=IFERROR(INDEX($A2:$F2,1,AGGREGATE(15,6,COLUMN($A2:$F2)/(($A2:$FZ2>0)),COLUMNS($A1:A1))),"")
and copy across the columns and down for each row

Try this array formula


<table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:35.17px;" /><col style="width:35.17px;" /><col style="width:35.17px;" /><col style="width:35.17px;" /><col style="width:35.17px;" /><col style="width:35.17px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:46.57px;" /><col style="width:46.57px;" /><col style="width:46.57px;" /><col style="width:46.57px;" /><col style="width:46.57px;" /><col style="width:46.57px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td><td >C</td><td >D</td><td >E</td><td >F</td><td >G</td><td >H</td><td >I</td><td >J</td><td >K</td><td >L</td><td >M</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td >Data</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td >Formula result</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">5</td><td > </td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td style="text-align:right; ">5</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">1</td><td style="text-align:right; ">12</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">5</td><td > </td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td style="text-align:right; ">1</td><td style="text-align:right; ">12</td><td style="text-align:right; ">5</td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">8</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td > </td><td style="text-align:right; ">8</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">7.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">11</td><td style="text-align:right; ">4.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">7.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">5</td><td > </td><td style="text-align:right; ">7.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">11</td><td style="text-align:right; ">4.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">7.5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">5</td><td > </td></tr></table><br /><table style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; border-style: groove ;border-color:#00ff00;background-color:#fffcf9; color:#000000; "><tr><td ><b></b></td></tr><tr><td ><table border = "1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:9pt;"><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; font-size:10pt;"><td >Cell</td><td >Formula</td></tr><tr><td >H2</td><td >{=IFERROR(INDEX($A2:$F2,0,SMALL(IF($A2:$F2>0,COLUMN($A2:$F2)),COLUMNS($H$1:H$1))),"")}</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>


Array formulas
Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.
Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself
