    Which version of Excel are you using?

    **Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets {} around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).

    See bebo021999's posting in Message #8. Note that his formula assumes you have set up the header row and name column beforehand.

    Re: Ignore Blank cells and jump to next non blank cell

    What is the new range?

    My formula is working with
    "Sheet1!$B$3:$P$6": value data
    "Sheet1!$A$3:$A$6": Employee name
    "Sheet1!$B$1:$P$1": Header

    Adapt to new range.

    Re: Ignore Blank cells and jump to next non blank cell

    My note in #8 (at the bottom) for array formula (Ctrl-shift-enter), try to follow.

    BTW, you need an IFERROR to avoid #NUM if not found

    Array formula, confirmed with Ctrl-shift-enter combination.
