Formula to return first valid cell in a range ignoring specific cell contents

I need a formula that always looks at the first data cell in the range and returns this as long as it is not an ‘A’, or zero if the first cell is ‘A’ then the next valid cell to the right is displayed, if this too is an ‘A’ then it is the next cell to the right etc.

2d, 3d,0,0……… the formula returns 2d
0,0, 2d, 3d,0,0 ……… the formula returns 2d
A, 2d, 3d, A,0,0 ……… the formula to return 2d
A, A, 2d, 3d, A, 4a, 7f, 5r, A,0,0 ……… the formula to return 2d

I need a formula that always looks at the first data cell in the range and returns this as long as it is not an ‘A’, or zero if the first cell is ‘A’ then the next valid cell to the right is displayed, if this too is an ‘A’ then it is the next cell to the right etc.

There is a likelihood that a situation could arise where the data range contains something like:

A, A,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, and I guess that as the formula will not allow the return an ‘A’ or a ‘0’ it would be good if rather than an error message it returned just a blank ie “ “
Many thanks

Try:

=INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(1,INDEX((A1:A10<>0)*(A1:A10<>"A"),0),0))

adjust range to suit.
