Default Find the first cell to contain text in a column

Also why do you have to use ctrl+shift+enter? I notice that this add {} to
either end but can't find out why??

Input this as an array (use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm):

I have a column that contains empty cells and text. I want to return the
reference of the first cell in the column to contain text. For example

A2 = empty cell
A3 = empty cell
A4 = 2L

The formula would return A4

Thanks for your help
