Function to find the address of a cell
If you only want to use out-of -the-box Excel functions...try this:
A1: (some range reference, like B1:L10)
A2:
=ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT(--((INDIRECT(A1))=MIN(INDIRECT(A1)))*ROW(INDIRECT(A1 ))),SUMPRODUCT(--((INDIRECT(A1))=MIN(INDIRECT(A1)))*COLUMN(INDIRECT (A1))))
That will return the address of the cell that contains the lowest value.
Note 1: If there are duplicate minimum values, It will return the address of
it will return the location of the first.
Note 2: for simplicity sake, the referenced range cannot contain Blank
Cells. If the range may contain blanks, the formula becomes more cumbersome.
Does that help?

Hello, I want a function that allows me to enter a range and then returns
the address of the cell with the minimum value. It is the Address I am
interested in, not the value.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
