Default How do I get the cell address of a VLOOKUP reference?

Another way

=CELL("address",INDEX(Table,MATCH(7.5,INDEX(Table, ,1),0),2))

One way:

=CELL("address",OFFSET(Table,MATCH(5,OFFSET(Table, ,,,1),FALSE)-1,1))

If you define Table to just be the first column of your table:

=CELL("address",OFFSET(Table,MATCH(5,Table,FALSE)-1,1))


VLOOKUP returns a value, not a range reference.

I'm getting a formula error. EXCEL 2003. Thanks.
