For Cell-Level Manipulation questions, this field is filled with the cell position; for Sheet-Level Manipulation, it is the maximum range of cells you need to modify. You only need to modify or fill in values within the cell range specified by answer_position.\n- output_path: You need to generate the modified spreadsheet file in this new path.\n\nBelow is the spreadsheet manipulation question you need to solve:\n### instruction\nI need a formula to identify the earliest non-zero value entered for each row, specifically within column 'AO,' from a range of months (e.g., from Jan 2015 onward). The workbook I'm working on will be updated monthly with new data, and the values are percentages such as 17.07% for contract #10007 in Mar-2015. It is important that the formula avoids using array formulas to prevent the workbook from freezing due to a potentially long list of data.\nI am struggling to find a formula that I could use in order to find the EARLIEST value entered from several months. Attached is a workbook that will be populated each month and will potentially have values from Jan 2015 through whatever the latest month would be........for each row, I need to pick the earliest value entered on column \"AO\". As an example on 1st row, the earliest value for contract # 10007 is 17.07% entered in Mar-2015, contract 10008 would 18.20% entered in Jun 2015, etc..Since this list will be long, it would be preferable to have a formula that does not use array formulas as I find that this type of formula typically freezes the workbook. Need to enter a formula that captures the earliest value entered from any given time period without manually entering value in each row.\n\n### spreadsheet_path\n/app/spreadsheets/1_9569_input.xlsx\n\n### instruction_type\nCell-Level Manipulation\n\n### answer_position\nAO9:AO1288\n\n### output_path\n/app/output/1_9569_output.xlsx\n\nYou should generate Python code for the final solution of the question.\n", "memory": "4g", "runnable": false, "difficulty": "hard", "language": "", "cpus": 1, "instruction_truncated": false, "category": "spreadsheet-manipulation", "compose": false, "has_solution": true, "oracle": null, "docker_image": "", "taskset": "spreadsheetbench-verified", "tags": ["spreadsheet", "excel", "data-manipulation", "cell-level-manipulation"]}, "runs": []}
