Hello,
Very new to more advanced formulas within excel. I am trying to figure out how to put a formula together that will search the a row and return the first cell that contains text. For instance if I am on row 5, and B5 contains the number 120, and C5 contains the text "hello" I would like the formula to return "hello" in the cell.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Something like:
=INDEX(A5:K5,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISTEXT(A5:K5),0),0))
where A5:K5 is your lookup range.
Where there is a will there are many ways.
