Can someone help me with a formula that returns the exact row number
(i.e. the row number on the side of the spreadsheet) where a match is
found on? If possible, I DON'T want to use 'Match + offset number.
For example:

A B

480 bull turtle
481 Pig mouse
482 cat dog


I would like to use something like =MATCH("Pig",$A$480:$B$482,0). Of
course this will return a value of '2' but I want it to return a value
of '481'. I need to be able to specify the area to search in because
there are other rows that have the value "Pig" in it.

TIA
