What formula do I use in Numbers (using two columns..) to show my “Age” when I run out of “Money”? Column A shows my increasing/decreasing bank account balance each month. Column B shows my age by the month. I have projected, by month, the dollar amount and age thru 100 years old. At the very top of the SS I have a cell that says ” At what age I will run out of money”. What formula do I put next to that cell to show when that will be true?
Thank you… Doug

So what you are looking for is when the cell in column A is 0 or less than 0, is that right? You want the value of the cell in B when that happens, right?
If that is the case, then LOOKUP is the function you want. Simply using this will do it:
LOOKUP(0, A, B)
That's where A is a reference to column A of that table and B is a reference to column B. This will look for the value 0 in column A and then return the corresponding value in the cell in column B.
The way LOOKUP works, it will give you the first value that is 0, or less than 0.
