I have a simple three cell range W4:W6 two of the cells have the text "No task Id Found" and the other one has a number value such as "102345678".

i would like to be able to have a formula in a now empty Cell such as A1, that searches that small range and returns the one that doesn't have the text "No task Id Found"

But im banging my head on the wall with this one.

here is the "table" I have and the small range im trying to search through is the "Results:" Column

the reason for this is that some times the B column will have the 102345678 type number in it and some times the C could and even the A might but it will only ever be 1 column with it .

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Do you want to return the value of the cell, or the column it was found in?
