Hi

With years in A1:J1 (I extended it to 10 years) and values in A2:K2
then the following array formula will return your result
{=MATCH(0,IF(A2:K2<0,A2:K2,""))+1}

Commit (or amend) the formula using Ctrl+Shift+Enter rather than just
Enter, and Excel will insert the curly braces { } for you.
Do not type the curly braces yourself.
