Locate a cell, based on a criteria, then use the 'Cell' command...
I am using a pivot table to configure some data. In the first column, the
pivot table of course displays only one instance of the text representing of data group. What I need to do is determine in which cell a particular item of text (i.e. the criteria) resides in. Once I can locate the cell where my 'criteria' text string resides, I can then use the CELL function to return the row number. My question is... what excel formula can I use to locate a cell in a single column range, where the cell contains the text = "XYZ" My eventual plan is to then use the following to return the row number where that text string reside: =CELL("Row",'cell found using above formula') Thanks for the help!

Turns out basic use of the 'Match' function was all I needed.
Thanks anyway! "cdavidson" wrote: I am using a pivot table to configure some data. In the first column, the pivot table of course displays only one instance of the text representing of data group.
