Search returning ans in terms of Rows & Columns
 
Hi,

Can excel search which cells my answers belong to?

example:
A B C D E F
4 2 3 6 7 9

Lets say my ans is "3"

it will show "number 3 belong to (C,1)"

If your answer is in A2, then
=ADDRESS(1,MATCH($A$2,A1:F1,0),4,1)

gives C1.

That's another case!
I could solve it only with a UDF:

Public Function FindInRng(findrng As Range, ansrng As Range) As String
FindInRng = findrng.Find(What:=ansrng.Value, After:=findrng(1),
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Address(False, False)
End Function

Usage (answer being in G1):

=findinrng(A1:F2,$G$1)


Adjust A1:F2 range to your needs!

If that UDF is gonna be used in a cell on a worksheet, then it won't work until
xl2002.

..Find doesn't work in xl2k and below if used in a function called from a cell on
a worksheet.

Yes, it's a nice solution. The best thing should have been to ask Will what

The "best" solution is one that works across all versions, not just Will's
version.
