    [SOLVED] Find Adjacent Row and Column - Screen included

    Hi All,

    Im trying to figure out the best way to get around this problem.

    I have a table consisting of values, i want to be able to look up any value in that table and return the number ive alocated to its position in the column and row. The value will change in its location .

    The circled red cells would the results i am looking for based on the search for 500

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    What are the dimensions of your table, it looks like it is 18 columns by at least 30 rows, the actual dimensions would be helpful for people to create a formula for your results.
    AND, do any of the numbers you are searching for repeat? And if I'm understand correctly you want two formulas, one to return the horizontal number and one to return the vertical number in a different cell.
    Probably uploading a sample workbook would go a long way to help get the correct formulas.

    Thanks for your reply, the table dimension with vary once i work out how to do it You are correct i want 2 formulas. The number will not repeat, it will only ever appear once. My actual sheets is much more complex with different thing going on, so ill just export that section and upload now as once i work it out ill incorporate into the main workbook thank you

    Row:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--($E$2:$E$14)*($F$2:$K$14=$A3))

    Column:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--($F$1:$K$1)*($F$2:$K$14=$A3))

    if this is not what you want, post a sample sheet, not a picture of one...

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    BUT try out the file from the previous post FIRST.

    Please see attached.

    So to clarify i have simplified a example chart. I will like to be able to search for any value (in this case ive used 500) , locate if position in the chart and return the vertical number and horiozantal number based on its location.

    Great thank you! That should work a treat, and i can see that if is repeats it would cause issues but luckily i wont. Great idea, would never have thought of using SUMPRODUCT . Thanks !

    Solution provided at post #7.

    Adjust formulae to suit your ranges.

    =SUMPRODUCT(--($E$5:$AC$5)*($E$6:$AC$45=$B$7))

    and

    =SUMPRODUCT(--($D$6:$D$45)*($E$6:$AC$45=$B$7))
