Try this:

With
The word "house" anywhere in A1:E10

Then
G1: house
H1:
=ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((A1:E10=G1)*ROW(A1:A10)),SUMPR ODUCT((A1:E10=G1)*COLUMN(A1:A10)))

Does that help?

TYPO!

The correct formula for my posted example is:

H1:
=ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((A1:E10=G1)*ROW(A1:A10)),SUMPR ODUCT((A1:E10=G1)*COLUMN(A1:E1)))

(sorry about the error)
