Returning the cell reference when you find a value in an array
Try this array** formula:
E1 = Sue
=ADDRESS(MAX((A1:C3=E1)*ROW(A1:C3)),MAX((A1:C3=E1) *COLUMN(A1:C3)),4)
** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)
If there are duplicates then it gets really complicated!!!

Hey folks! I've scoured the Excel help documentation, and I haven't found
anything that can solve my problem here.
Say I have a table that looks like this:
A B C
1 Ed John Kim
2 Tim Joe Sue
3 Al Ann Zoe
What I need is some formula where I say, "What cell contains 'Sue'?" and
it
would return "C2".
Any ideas? Thanks!
