    Nested formula help needed

    I have the following formula, which counts a range of rows by finding the next non-blank cell in the column. It's entered as an array formula and works exactly as I'd like.

    =MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(A7:A700),0)+1

    This is entered in A6, so A7 is the cell below. The "700" of A700 is arbitrary.

    I need to use the formula in a number of places, so I need to generate the address for ROW()+1, COLUMN(). I've tried a couple of approaches, but keep getting an error.

    Trying to generate just the address for A7:

    =MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(ADDRESS(ROW()+1,COLUMN()):A700),0)+1

    And trying to generate a suitable range using ADDRESS() and OFFSET():

    =MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(OFFSET(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()),1,0,700,1)),0)+1

    That works. Thanks. What is the difference between

    INDEX($A:$Z,ROW()+1,COLUMN())

    and

    ADDRESS(ROW()+1,COLUMN())

    ?

    INDEX works, ADDRESS doesn't

    Fine point, I guess, but ADDRESS is returning the address of a cell, that is a text string, whereas, INDEX is returning a cell reference.
