Don't see why you're using OFFSET. Each address returned by the formula will
contain the value held in A$7. Are you wanting to offset that address and
return a value from a different column?

If E2 = A2136 (this is a TEXT string and not a real cell reference) to use
that as a reference you'd need to wrap it inside an INDIRECT function:

=INDIRECT("'Import Sheet'!"&E2)

Which evaluates to:

='Import Sheet'!A2136

These functions worked great; thanks to all for your help. I have one
more
question, how can I display the contents of a cell on another sheet? I am
trying to match the results from the function Biff gave me, which for
example
may be A2136, A2147, A2158, and so on and so forth. Basically, I am
trying
to get the contents of A2136, on the Import Sheet, to show up in D1 of my
Names Sheet. I tried the following:

=OFFSET('Import Sheet'!A1,Names!D1-1,0)

This seems to increase my offset, by one for each row, so by the time I am
at the end of my list, the cell reference is off by 30! I thought that I
could subtract 1 from the Row part of the function, but it doesn't seem to
work. Please help.

Regards,
Ryan--

You can try this array formula** but it'll be slow.

Assume you have this formula in cell D1:

{=COUNT(SEARCH($A7,'Import Sheet'!$A$1:$A$65000))}

Enter this array formula** in E1 and copy down until you get blanks:

=IF(ROWS(E$1:E1)<=D$1,"A"&SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH (A$7,'Import
Sheet'!A$1:A$65000)),ROW('Import Sheet'!A$1:A$65000)),ROWS(E$1:E1)),"")

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

I used the following simple function to get the number of items found in
a
list that is imported from the web:

{=COUNT(SEARCH($A7,'Import Sheet'!$A$1:$A$65000))}
CSE-entered (thanks Max and Harlan)

Let's say there were 30 items found in the entire list. Is there a
simple
way to get the cell address that corresponds to each item found? Does
this
require a macro?

I am using the following now:
=ADDRESS(MATCH(A1,'Import Sheet'!$A$1:$A$65000),1)

This, however, is not the correct address! Another pair of eyes on
this
would be great! What am I missing?


Thanks,
Ryan---
