Let's say you are searching for WW02 and/or WWO3, use this function:
=ADDRESS(MATCH("WW02",A1:A4,0),MATCH("WW03",A1:D1, 0))

The items in quotes are the strings; you can use one or both (I think you
only need one for your purposes...)

Showing the code would have been helpful. If that code is finding the Cell
(as a range) that the text is in, then just affix .Column (note the leading
dot) after that range to get the column.
