Default Lookup, and Return Cell Address

I have a follow-up question for T Valko.

Can you offer some kind of modification, or alternative, to the second
function (below) that you gave me yesterday?

In the form that you gave all functions to me, all functions worked great!
However, I made some modifications, and now I have a problem here.

I used your first function, and ended up counting the number of matches,
between items in my Column A on the active sheet, and items in Column A on
the Import Sheet:
=COUNT(SEARCH($A7,'Import Sheet'!$A$1:$A$65000))
CSE, of course. This function is in my Column B of the active sheet, and
this works fine.

Then, I used your second function, and found all cell addresses on the
Import Sheet, which is what I wanted:
=IF(ROWS(C2:C$2)<=B2,"A"&SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH( A2,'Import
Sheet'!A$1:A$65000)),ROW('Import Sheet'!A$1:A$65000)),ROWS(C2:C$2)),"")
This function is in my Column C.

Finally, I used your third function:
=INDIRECT("'Import Sheet'!"&E2)
This function is in my Column D.

I then inserted rows in Column A, sort of as place holders, for each of the
numbers which are in Column B of the active sheet. This allowed me to show
each of the cell addresses (Column C of my active sheet) and each bit of text
from these cell addresses (Column D of my active sheet). So, I thought
everything was going to be roses, but then I realized the second function
stops counting when I inserted those rows in my Column A! Do you have any
idea what could be causing this? Does anyone have an alternative to look up
cell addresses, such as Address & Vlookup? Tried a few combinations of
things and nothing seemed to work€¦€¦€¦€¦.


Cordially,
Ryan---
