Find the first no sales date with sale value as blank in excel 2016

Just now I've found an interesting formula to find the first no sales date by lookup with First Blank Cell. I was trying to create a Daily Sales Tracking Chart with a combination of Line Chart and Area Chart in Excel 2016. For that, I have designed my data table as below:

Image 1: Sample data table to find the first no sale date

Now, In F2 cell, I was trying to find the first no sales date by matching Sales is blank. I have used below Array Formula to get my result in F2 cell:

=INDEX(B3:B32,MATCH(1,ISBLANK(C3:C32)+0,0))

And surprised to get the result. This tutorial is described in another way like "How to match blank cell in Index-Match formula". I know that you can easily find the 9-Jun-20 with below LOOKUP formula, like this:

=LOOKUP(2,1/(C3:C32<>""),(B3:B32))+1

or

Array Formula:

=INDEX(B3:B32,MIN(IF(C3:C32="",ROW(C3:C32)))-2)


Hope this tutorial will help you sometime in your excel world.

Thanks.
