Default finding cell location

Maybe that is why they didn't work because I wouldn't post a formula that
didn't work? You have to enter the formula with ctrl + shift & enter as
opposed to just enter it, replace sheet name, lookup cell and range if
necessary, put the formula in a cell and pres ctrl + shift & enter at the
same time

neither of them worked for me.
What do you mean by "entered with ctrl + shift & enter"?

A couple of ways I am sure there are more

=CELL("address",INDEX(Sheet2!A1:M94,MAX((Sheet2!B3 :M94=A1)*(ROW(Sheet2!B3:M94))),MAX((Sheet2!B3:M94= A1)*(COLUMN(B3:M94)))))

entered with ctrl + shift & enter where A1 as in =A1 holds the lookup
value

or

=ADDRESS(MAX((Sheet2!B3:M94=A1)*(ROW(Sheet2!B3:M94 ))),MAX((Sheet2!B3:M94=A1)*(COLUMN(B3:M94))))

entered the same way

A toughie...
I have a list in column 1 on sheet 1 that I am looking for it's cell
location on sheet 2.
However, on sheet 2, the range is B3:M494. It is not all in one column
or
row, or then I would use vlookup or hlookup possibly....
I want an equation that finds the value on sheet 2 and returns the cell
location (B6, F67, M335, etc.)

Thanks,
Josh
