So I stumbled across instructions on how to do this in Excel but can't get the same result in LibreOffice.

Suggestions appreciated as always
The first formula given at that web page worked for me once I'd 
tinkered with the details to fit my actual case.  And I needed to 
replace commas by semicolons.  (The formula as given will not find 
instances of zero in the list.)
Note that it is an array formula, so you need to complete it using 
Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of plain Enter.  The formula will then show 
with {braces} around it in the Input Line (but you cannot achieve the 
same result by typing braces yourself).
Note also that it seems that you cannot fill the array formula down 
the column by dragging the fill handle.  Instead, copy the formula 
from the original cell, select all the target cells, and paste.
I trust this helps.
