Referencing position of a Text Box

I've built a visual containing several text boxes that have the names of activities typed into them. These text boxes are in a kind of table that has five defined rows (each row pertains to a particular resource used), and columns that depict when these activities will happen in relation to the other activities (i.e. if two activities are in the same column they will be done at the same time). The text boxes need to be able to move from row to row and column to column.

All of this I have and works perfect. The issue I'm having is this: I need a formula that finds a specific text box, and gives it's position relative to the row/column it's sitting in. For example, if TextBox1 is in the resource row Associate, the formula will report it as such.

I'm using this to build a cost estimator depending on what resource (row) is being used and which activities can be done simultaneously (to predict scheduling). Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
