Default Return cell address of a cell based on contents of cell.

Hi,

This is a perfect candidate for using range names. Name the range A1:CF13 D
Then the formula simplifies to

=ADDRESS(MAX(ROW(D)*(A1=D)),MAX(COLUMN(D)*(A1=D)))

still array entered. Notice no need for sheet references, no need for
absolute notation!

Cheers,

I have a list (sheet1) of about 300 items (a1:a300) that appear in random
locations on sheet 2 of my workbook (a1:cf13). I want to find the items in
my list a1:a300 on sheet 2 and return their location (cell address) to
b1:b300.

If you know whether or not this can be done I would greatly appreciate it.
I have searched the forum for something similar to this but cant find what I
am looking for. I found a couple that use the address function with the max
function but that seems to just be for a single row or column. I am trying to
search through a range about 13x83.
