Here is an example. I want to check row 8 ("Price move") to see whether a
value greater than 1 or less than -1 comes first, and return "up" or "down"
in a specified cell based on which comes first ("up" if 1 comes first and
"down" if -1 comes first).
Eventually I want to check the next 30 value
Let me rephrase: Eventually I'll have one of two words in a row of cells
(e.g. "up" or "down") and I want to know which one comes first. How can I
get Excel to tell me whether the *first* instance of "up" or "down" comes
in an earlier column?

Hello, I'm confused about that response. I don't know how SUMPRODUCT would help
here. Could you explain a bit?
Thanks
