I am working in a large spreadsheet and need to be able to find the
contents
of a particular cell. I have the row and column number but because I have
to
search about 100 16 digit numbers I find scrolling to each row laborious.
I
have seen a colleague type a formula in a random empty cell that returns
the
contents of that cell. How do I do that?
