Default Cell Address

Hi,

What formula do I need to use to accomplish the following.

Lookup some value in another sheet and return the Cell Address(Column and
Row) that has this value.

Thanks in advance.

Default Cell Address

Hi,

It depends on how the data we are looking up are laid out but here's a
simple one

="A" & MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE)

Thanks Mike. I have one more question.

How can I use the value returned by this formula in a COUNTIF function. I
mean the formula you just wrote in your reply gives me the row number and
now I want to know how many times a particular value appears in that this
row.

Thanks a ton.

Hi,

One way

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet2!" & MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE)&":"&
MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE)),"Myvalue")

All in one line. If you are trying to count number change "Myvalue" to the
number you looking for with no quotes.
