Default Find duplicate values in an array

Apologies for side-tracking the conversation, but I just hate rudeness toward
someone attempting to assist, even if that assistance turns out to be totally
off base (which you were definitely not). A simple "that's close, but how
would I modify it to..." would have been more appropriate from Bony Pony.
Heck, I was totally wrong in a recent posting (told someone I didn't think
something could be done without VBA, only to be proven 100% wrong within 3
more postings), but all were courteous enough not to thumb their nose at my
dumb response.
Anyhow, I think Bony Pony owes you (and the forum) an apology for his/her
bad manners. And that's all I'm going to say on the subject.

I should think that those seeking assistance would see the wisdom of NOT
BEING RUDE.

At this point, I would suggest that you "...do this with VBA in a heartbeat
..." since attempts by others to assist seem to have failed.

Thanks for pointing out the blindingly obvious - did you read the part about
wanting to return the ADDRESS of the location?

Hi everyone,
21:00 on a Saturday night and I'm struggling with this!

I have textual data in cells C158:L177

Unfortunately these are not all unique values ...

I want to get the address of each dearched instance.

In cell C179 I want to enter a search text which exists in the data.

In D179 I want the address of the first instance, E179 the address of the
second etc.

For unique values the formula:
=ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT(--($C$158:$L$177=C179)*ROW($C$158:$L$177)),SUMPRODUC T(--($C$158:$L$177=C179)*COLUMN($C$158:$L$177)),4)

works like a dream but for multiple instances, it doesn't work.

I can do this with VBA in a heartbeat but I am determined to do it with a
non array entered function.

Please can anyone hekp?

Kind regards,
Bony
