Hello,

I have 2 columns of numbers and I need a way to find the first instance that a number in column 2 is greater than or equal to a number in column 1. Whats the easiest way to do that?

Could you please upload a sample file with sample data etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://wikisend.com/ ,https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?passive=1209600&continue=https://docs.google.com/&followup=https://docs.google.com/&emr=1 http://www.editgrid.com etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too
Thanks for the help! Here's the link to a sample:

You would need to use Array formula

To enter array formula, instead of enter , press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER at the same time

this is the formula
=MIN(IF(E7:E27<=G7:G27,ROW(E7:E27),9999999))


If you have done it correctly you should see formula enclosed in {}
