Hi,

Use MATCH

=MATCH(C1,A1:A10,0)

Where C1 contains your lookup value. Note this returns the position in the
range so if your range was a2 - A10 you would have to add 1 to the result to
get the correct row.

I am wanting to know the row number in which a VLOOKUP result was found. I
know I could have a column containing the row number, and return that as my
result, but that could lead to a good bit of other editing if I add such a
column to an already fairly well developed spreadsheet; I would just like to
avoid that option if I can.

Please offer help in either function calls and/or VBA macro - I am
comfortable with either or.

I would cross post in Programming too, but Daniel has told us that this
frowned on, and I don't know the USENET designation anyway - I wonder why
they even offer the option, when it is so difficult to find the necessary
information to do so, eh.

Best regards
