MIN(IF(A1:C2="x",COLUMN(A1:C2),""))))

Result = x

What did that formula accomplish?

If just want to know if "x" is present then use COUNTIF.

(Correction) To retrieve value from the next column to the right

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(
MIN(IF($A$1:$J$20="findme",ROW($A$1:$J$20),"")),
MIN(IF($A$1:$J$20="findme",COLUMN($A$1:$J$20),"")) +1))

That doesn't make any sense. What's the point of telling the formula to
find
something and then having the result of the formula being what it is
you're
trying to find? You probalby didn't mean to include INDIRECT.

Try the below. Enter a text 'findme' somewhere in the range A1:J20.
and
try
the below array formula..which will retrive the value..Adjust to
suit...your
requirement

The Match function seems to work only on 1 dimensional arrays. Is
there
any
such function that returns the cell reference for a match in a 2d
array?

For example, I am trying to find the cell location of a max number
in a
1000x1000 array of data - is there a function that will do that?
