Find the first empty cell in the same column/row

Question

I am trying to work out a formula that will give me the row number of the first empty cell in a column. Currently I am using:

=MATCH(TRUE, INDEX(ISBLANK(A:A)         


        

Answer 1

Another way to do it

=MIN(IF(A2:A6="",ROW(A2:A6)))

you have to press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

The difference is that this will give you the Row number of the first empty cell The previous answer will give the position (how many rows from the starting row) of the first empty cell... Both ways are valid depending on your needs
