Finding the first occurance using interp1

Hello. I have some data (red curve) and I'm trying to find the X value at which Y = 0.2.
I have used
Y20 = interp1(Y,X,0.2,'linear')
which works well, but finds the last occurrance.
How can I find the first occurrance (i.e. around x=9)
Thanks

Use only the first two data X,Y data points in the interpolation.

Hi, but its not always the 1st two data points. sometime my real data is very similar to the black curve.
Then go through your data from the beginning, note when the Y-value is first greater or equal to 0.2 (say at position I in the Y-array) and then call interp1 as
Y20 = interp1(Y(1:I),X(1:I),0.2,'linear')
Best wishes

Like this:
[~,I] = min(abs(Y - 0.2))
i=find(Y(1:end-1)>=0.2 & Y(2:end)<=0.2,1);
Y20=interp1(Y(i:i+1),X(i:i+1),0.2);
It could happen that Y is increasing, couldn't it ?
Not according to the posted figure, but even if it could, I think the extension is an exercise I'll leave for the OP.

Use cummax and cummin to find the the first set of points that cross 0.2. Then interp just them.
x = 1:10
y = sin(x)
plot(x,y)
yval = 0.2;
idx = find(cummin(y)<0.2 & cummax(y)>0.2, 1, 'first')
interp1(y([idx-1 idx]), x([idx-1, idx]), 0.2)
