Default Formula for Column Number

Is there any way to find out the column number within an array that matches
with the lookup value like the "Match" Function?

Default Formula for Column Number

If you post your actual scenario, you'll get a more tailored response.

Absent that.....here's one way:

With
A1: (a value to lookup)

C1:Z1 contains values

This formula returns the column number of the first item in C1:Z1 that
matches A1
B1: =MATCH(A1,C1:Z1,0)+COLUMN(B1)

Is that something you can work with?
