Default Display cell name

Hi,
Say in cell B4 contains text "John". Based on text "John", I'd like to
display "B4" (colomn and row of cell that contains "John") in other cell. How
is the formula to do that?

Thanks.

What is the range to be searched for text "John"? If it is restricted to
column B, then
=ADDRESS(MATCH("John",$B:$B,0),2,4,1)
returns B4. If the search area contains more than one column, you have to
create a UDF, as far as I know.

Regards,
Stefi
