I have two columns, one for the date and one for the number of people who cannot make it to an event on that date. The date is formatted as an excel date. I would like to find the first date to which the least number of people cannot make it AFTER the current date. Ideally I’d like to solve the problem without resorting to VBA macros.

    Given column A=Dates, B=Number of people
    Add a third collumn with:

    =IF(A1>TODAY(),B1,"")

    Then use a Lookup to find the date of the smallest entry:

    =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MIN(C:C),C:C,0))
