Reverse Column and Row Look-up
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
We have been working all day on a very large cataloging file.
<o:p></o:p>
We want excel to point to the ROW and COLUMN location by searching a RANGE.
<o:p></o:p>
EXAMPLE:
<o:p></o:p>
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 336pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=448><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 13.5pt"><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 1pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; PADDING-LEFT: 0.65pt; WIDTH: 48pt; PADDING-RIGHT: 0.65pt; HEIGHT: 13.5pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; PADDING-TOP: 0.65pt" vAlign=bottom width=64 noWrap>
<o:p></o:p>

​
</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 1pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 1pt solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; PADDING-LEFT: 0.65pt; WIDTH: 48pt; PADDING-RIGHT: 0.65pt; HEIGHT: 13.5pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; PADDING-TOP: 0.65pt" vAlign=bottom width=64 noWrap>

We would like to type any number in the range B2:E5 into cell F1 and have it tell us the cell location example; if F1=12 we would get a result of D1 and D4, if F1=46 we would get an answer of D3.

More specifically we would like to receive Column D, Row 3 or referance the text in A3 and D1 as the result or the search

<o:p></o:p>
We are using Excel 2000 and Excel 2003

Thank you for your help and service.

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Sort by date Sort by votes
If all the entries in A1:D4 are unique

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:D4=12)*ROW(A1:D4)) will return the row of the cell

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:D4=12)*COLUMN(A1:D4)) will return the column number

Here's my approach, in sections for readability:
F1: (a value to find in the table....eg 12)

This formula counts the number of matched items:
H1: =COUNTIF(A1:D4,F1)

This ARRAY FORMULA (commited with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
begins the list of cell position references that contain the F1 value
I1: =SMALL(IF($A$1:$D$4=$F$1,COLUMN($A$1:$D$4)+(ROW($A$1:$D$4)-1)*COLUMNS($A$1:$D$4)),ROWS($1:1))

Note: that formula assumes the cells are in a grid,
with each cell sequentially numbered from left to right like this:
Code: 
 1   2   3   4
 5   6   7   8
 9  10  11  12
13  14  15  16

This regular formula begins the list of row numbers that contain the F1 value
Code: 
J1: =CEILING(I1/COLUMNS($A$1:$D$4),1)

and this regular formula begins the list of column numbers that contain the F1 value
Code: 
K1: =MOD((I1-1),COLUMNS($A$1:$D$4))+1
Finally, this formula constructs the cell address for the matched items:
Code: 
L1: =CELL("ADDRESS",INDEX($A$1:$D$3,J1,K1))
Copy those formulas down as far as you need.

Note: I purposely left errors un-managed to avoid cluttering up the formulas more than necessary.

Using your posted values, the formula return these values:
L1: $D$1
L2: $D$3

Is that something you can work with?
