Hi CLR

I'll look at TEXT values later today. Right now the undergrads are swarming
all over our help center. I'll be tied up until after 6:00PM (east coast).

Hi Gary"s Student, thanks for the reply. I had a little trouble with it at
first, getting some #VALUE! and #NAME errors.....but then I got the knack and
it seems to be ok now. I really prefer this method over the other much
longer formula suggestions, except that they both work on TEXT and I can't
seem to make this one do it. It seems to fail when trying to look up a TEXT
value, as well as any number in a row that has any TEXT in it and any row
thereafter. I know that was not a requirement in the original problem, but
could your solution be easily modified to work with both TEXT and numbers as
well? If so, I would be much appreciative.

Thanks again,

a 5x5 with titles

Function titles(r As Range, v As Integer) As String
Dim rr As Range, s1, s2 As String, gotit As Boolean
titles = ""
gotit = False

For Each rr In r
If rr.Value = v Then
gotit = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If gotit = False Then Exit Function

s1 = Cells(r.Row, rr.Column)
s2 = Cells(rr.Row, r.Column)
titles = s1 & Chr(10) & s2
End Function


=titles(S100:X105,12) will display:

Hi All......
I have a small 5x5 matrix on a worksheet. Normally one supplies the Row
and Column Titles of a matrix to return the crossover value. I want to do it
in reverse. I want to supply the crossover value and in return get the Row
and Column Titles from the matrix, (not the Excel cell address).

TIA for any assistance,
