finding cell location
A toughie...
I have a list in column 1 on sheet 1 that I am looking for it's cell location on sheet 2. However, on sheet 2, the range is B3:M494. It is not all in one column or row, or then I would use vlookup or hlookup possibly.... I want an equation that finds the value on sheet 2 and returns the cell location (B6, F67, M335, etc.) Thanks, Josh |

finding cell location
A couple of ways I am sure there are more
=CELL("address",INDEX(Sheet2!A1:M94,MAX((Sheet2!B3 :M94=A1)*(ROW(Sheet2!B3:M94))),MAX((Sheet2!B3:M94= A1)*(COLUMN(B3:M94))))) entered with ctrl + shift & enter where A1 as in =A1 holds the lookup value or =ADDRESS(MAX((Sheet2!B3:M94=A1)*(ROW(Sheet2!B3:M94 ))),MAX((Sheet2!B3:M94=A1)*(COLUMN(B3:M94)))) entered the same way -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Excel 95 - Excel 2007 Northwest Excel Solutions www.nwexcelsolutions.com (Remove ^^ from email) "Jshendel" wrote in message ...

finding cell location
neither of them worked for me.
What do you mean by "entered with ctrl + shift & enter"?

Maybe that is why they didn't work because I wouldn't post a formula that
didn't work? You have to enter the formula with ctrl + shift & enter as opposed to just enter it, replace sheet name, lookup cell and range if necessary, put the formula in a cell and pres ctrl + shift & enter at the same time -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Excel 95 - Excel 2007 Northwest Excel Solutions www.nwexcelsolutions.com (Remove ^^ from email) "Jshendel" wrote in message ... neither of them worked for me.
