Default Random table of data - need to find every cell that contains specific data

What I am trying to accomplish is to create a new table for each two letter abbreviation found in the Variables tab. Within each newly created table, I would like to see every cell from the two randomly generated tables on the Grids tab that contains that specific two letter abbreviation. For example, CH. Here's the tricky part. I want each cell that contains the two letter abbreviation to be represented by a combination of the headers (column headers found in row 1 + row 8 AND the row headers found in column A). Sample results: 011, 021, 121, 311, 554.

Find all cells that contain CH and list the column header and row header in a cell together for each occurrence of CH in the two tables on the Grids tab. I am attaching a sample file with additional descriptors that I hope will explain more.
  • two randomly generated tables on the Grids tab have a column header and row header (see Grids)
  • randomly generated data consists of two letter abbreviations (see Variables & Grids)
  • I need to pull from random table data every cell that contains a specific two letter abbreviation. For example, every cell that contains CH
  • and show the column header and row header (combined in one cell) for each cell that contains the two letter abbreviation

My question is: Is there a way to systematically find every cell that contains specific text and display the column header/row header for each occurrence found within a range of cells? Please see my attached sample for further clarity.

The two tables on the Grids tab are randomly generated. They most likely re-randomized...making my example harder to understand.
