    Lookup

    I have a sheet with a Column with sentences of text. I need to lookup and return the cell location of a value and there can be multiple cells which contain this value. I have attached some sample data.

    This array formula** entered in E2:

    =IFERROR(ADDRESS(SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(D$2,C$2:C$19)),ROW(C$2:C$19)),ROWS(E$2:E2)),3,4),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Copy down until you get blanks.
