Hello.
I have a dynamic array at B2:G, and I am looking forward for code able to populate a new array on S:X base on the row position of every number by row.
let me explain.
1594866787933.png

in this images for example
The number 1332 if I count from the next row, then this number was four rows away, and number four will be place on S2.
The next number 13320 also count it from the next row, was three rows away, then number 3 will be at T2 and so on for every number on the array until the lastRow.
so every time the count number will populate a new array on S:X
so here it is the actual numbers

I was using this code but it is not what I need, it is not real practical for the application I am working on
VBA Code:
Sub Left_to_right_count()
Dim Rng As Range, Ac&, Rw&
Dim Ray
Dim Q
Set Rng = Range(Range("A1"), Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Resize(, 6)
               Ray = Rng.Value
                           With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
                                       .CompareMode = vbTextCompare
                                       ReDim nRay(1 To UBound(Ray, 1), 1 To UBound(Ray, 2))
                                                   For Rw = 1 To UBound(Ray, 1)
                                                                  For Ac = 1 To UBound(Ray, 2)
                                                                                 If Not .Exists(Ray(Rw, Ac)) Then
                                                                                             .Add Ray(Rw, Ac), Array(Rw, Ac, (Rw - 1) * UBound(Ray, 2))
                                                                                             Else
                                                                                             Q = .Item(Ray(Rw, Ac))
                                                                                             nRay(Q(0), Q(1)) = ((Rw - 1) * UBound(Ray, 2) + Ac) - Q(2)
                                                                                             Q(2) = (Rw - 1) * UBound(Ray, 2)
                                                                                             Q(0) = Rw
                                                                                             Q(1) = Ac
                                                                                             .Item(Ray(Rw, Ac)) = Q
                                                                                 End If
                                                                  Next Ac
                                                   Next Rw
                                       Range("H1").Resize(UBound(Ray, 1), UBound(Ray, 2)) = nRay
                           End With
End Sub
this code count from left to right until found the number and replace in the next array, but this is exactly what I don't need.
thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
According to your image, the data starts in cell L2, if not, the code can be adapted.
Try this.

VBA Code:
Sub PopulatePosition()
  Dim i As Long, j As Long, lr As Long
  Dim r As Range, f As Range

  lr = Range("L" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
  For i = 2 To lr - 1
    Set r = Range("L" & i + 1 & ":Q" & lr)
    For j = Columns("L").Column To Columns("Q").Column
      Set f = r.Find(Cells(i, j), , xlValues, xlWhole)
      If Not f Is Nothing Then
        Cells(i, j + 7) = f.Row - i
      End If
    Next
  Next
End Sub

Hello, thank you DanteAmor for your reply but what I got is an extra column,
1594896246036.png


VBA Code:
Sub PopulatePosition()
  Dim i As Long, j As Long, lr As Long
  Dim r As Range, f As Range

  lr = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
  For i = 2 To lr - 1
    Set r = Range("B" & i + 1 & ":k" & lr)
    For j = Columns("B").Column To Columns("k").Column
      Set f = r.Find(Cells(i, j), , xlValues, xlWhole)
      If Not f Is Nothing Then
        Cells(i, j + 7) = f.Row - i
      End If
    Next
  Next
End Sub
I change L for K trying to get the new position but, wrong move, beside when I try in the original sheet, I have extra column after G and this code was reading everything instead of just the array ("B2:G"),
please can you check for me
this time I upload the image according to my sheet B2: until the end G thanks.

Set r = Range("B" & i + 1 & ":k" & lr)
For j = Columns("B").Column To Columns("k").Column
Must be G

Try this
VBA Code:
Sub PopulatePosition()
  Dim i As Long, j As Long, lr As Long
  Dim r As Range, f As Range
  
  lr = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
  For i = 2 To lr - 1
    Set r = Range("B" & i + 1 & ":G" & lr)
    For j = Columns("B").Column To Columns("G").Column
      Set f = r.Find(Cells(i, j), , xlValues, xlWhole)
      If Not f Is Nothing Then
        Cells(i, j + 7) = f.Row - i
      End If
    Next
  Next
End Sub
