Default Lookup Across Multiple Rows / Columns

hey

I need to look up a value from an group of cells across rows and
sheets, and return the top and left hand value from the location of
the result.

Eg:

One Two Three Four

Left a b c d
Right e f g h
Up i j k l
Down m n o p


If I searched for 'f', I need to return 'Two Right'. 'p' should return
'Four Down'

I have tried various match and index formulas with no success.

Any ideas?



Insert in A9 "f"

in B9:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,SUMPRODUCT((B3:E6=A9)*COLUMN(B 3:E6))))&"
"&INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((B3:E6=A9)*ROW(B3:E6 )),1))

Hi,
E.


Also:

=INDICE(1:1;MATR.SOMMA.PRODOTTO((B3:E6=A9)*RIF.COL ONNA(B3:E6)))&"
"&INDICE(A:A;MATR.SOMMA.PRODOTTO((B3:E6=A9)*RIF.RI GA(B3:E6));1)
