=MATCH("NOT OK";ADDRESS(E2+1;28;0;"Data");0)

The above keeps bringing up an error of #VALUE

I have 2 sheets, "Data" and "Errors". Column 28 of "Data" contains a few "NOT OK". I'm trying to figure out a formula that will return the cell value of the "NOT OK".
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
=MATCH("NOT OK";ADDRESS(E2+1;28;0;"Data");0)

why are you using semicolons to separate each part of the formula? That might be the reason.

=CELL("address",INDEX(Data!E2:E28,MATCH("NOT OK",Data!E2:E28,0)))

=ADDRESS(MATCH("NOT OK",Sheet1!E2:E28,0)+ROW(Sheet1!E2)-1,MIN(COLUMN(Sheet1!E2)),,,"Sheet1")

would each yield the address of the first NOT OK occurrence.

Are you using
E2+1
to define a variable row to start from ?

I am yes.

=MATCH("NOT OK";Data.AB1:AB62;0)

This returns an 8 in E2 as the first NOT OK is in the 8th row. The E2 +1 should then start from the 9th row. Only problem is I would like the cell reference, not the row number.

Is this formula in E2? If so, what result should appear in this cell exactly?
