Try this:

A1 = some number

=IF(COUNTIF(C:C,A1),ADDRESS(MATCH(A1,C:C,0),3,4)," not found")

You could do something like this.
With your typed RMA number in D1, enter this formula in another cell.

="Row " & MATCH(D1,C:C,0)

First of all, if you place your mouse in one of the cells, is it an actualy
RMA number in the cell or is it a formula? If it is an actual number, click
on your column C (which will highlight the entire column) and try searching
just the first few characters of the RMA number when you click Find.
