Default Return cell referance of the first cell that equals a value?

I have a 3000 row table that has three columns: Time, Sensor1 and Sensor2.

I need to break this table up into sub tables. I would like each sub table
to contain the different blocks of when sensor 1 starts at value of 250 and
ends at 302.

I am thinking that there should be some kind of function that will return
the cell referance of the first cell in list of cells that matches a certian
criteria.

In my perfect world I would like to past in new raw data over the old raw
data on the worksheet and have the sheet automatically adjust.

This will return the cell address of the first instance of 250 in the range
A2:A1000:

=ADDRESS(MATCH(250,A2:A1000,0)+ROW(A2)-1,COLUMN(A1),4)

The below formula will look for the text "a" in column A and return the first
matching cell address..Is that what you are looking for.

=ADDRESS(MATCH("a",A:A,0),1)

Thanks! I never would have thought of combining those two formulas.
