Is that your ultimate aim or are you looking to do something else with
the result?

You could try

=ADDRESS(ROW(E$18)+MATCH(MAX(LEN(E18:E21)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(E18:E21,"?",""))),LEN(E18:E21)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(E18:E21,"?","")),0)-1,COLUMN($E18),4)

confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

If there's a tie it returns the first cell
