    Sorry, I was careless. Try these (again confirmed by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter):

     

    =IF(COUNTIF(D5:AQ5, "x"), INDEX($3:$3, MIN(IF(D5:AQ5="x",COLUMN(D5:AQ5)))), "")

     

    =IF(COUNTIF(D5:AQ5, "x"), INDEX($3:$3, MAX(IF(D5:AQ5="x",COLUMN(D5:AQ5)))), "")

Hello!

 

Use this on B5 (Start date):

=XLOOKUP("X",D5:AQ5,D3:AQ3,,,1)

 

On C5 (Finish date) use this:

=XLOOKUP("X",D5:AQ5,D3:AQ3,,,-1)

 

Change cell (absolute) references accordingly and drag down each of these. Also change "X" based on if it is in lower or upper case.

Hope it works for you.

MAngosto Thanks, but I'll have to look for another function because I don't have XLOOKUP. I tried with LOOKUP it displays the end day, but if I do more than one break and it doesn't display the end day correctly.

If you have any idea how to adjust the function or other function or combination of functions to output the correct start and end days.
