i want to find address of the cell on which a text occurs first time and last time in a column.eg in above address of first row and sixth row in case of banknifty, and 7th row and 9th row in case of Nifty. i tried using match function , but it always gives last row number irrespective of my search.please note that data is very big ,above is just a part of that please guide.
I require this for calculation of option pain in a stock.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Assume data in column g rows 1 through 7

=MATCH(G1,$G$1:$G$7,FALSE) should give you the first one

=MATCH(G1,$G$1:$G$7) should give you the last one

I hope this helps.

Hi goyalsr,

Welcome to MrExcel!!

Assuming the data starts at A1 and goes down column A (change to suit), put the following formula in Row 1 of any unused column...

=IF(ROW()=1,ADDRESS(ROW(),1),IF(OR(INDIRECT("A"&ROW())<>INDIRECT("A"&ROW()-1),INDIRECT("A"&ROW())<>INDIRECT("A"&ROW()+1)),ADDRESS(ROW(),1),""))

...and copy it down to the last Row used in column A.

colum gives address of last occurrence.

Formula for first change:

=IF(ROW()=1,ADDRESS(ROW(),1),IF(INDIRECT("A"&ROW())<>INDIRECT("A"&ROW()-1),ADDRESS(ROW(),1),""))

Formula for last change:

=IF(ROW()=1,"",IF(INDIRECT("A"&ROW())<>INDIRECT("A"&ROW()+1),ADDRESS(ROW(),1),""))
