Default return row # of a certain cell

Ah yes, appreciate it

Try something like this:

If the search word will only be in ONE column:
Example: Find the row containing "Run" in Col_F
=MATCH("Run",F:F,0)

If the search word may be in a range:
Example: Find the row containing "Run" in E1:G1000
=SUMPRODUCT((E1:G1000="Run")*ROW(E1:G1000))

Note: Those formulas presume the search term will only occur once.

Is that something you can work with?

Is there a way to return the row # of a cell without using the cell's
location but rather its content? For example, I would like to return the the
row # of a cell that contains the word "Run".
