Locate a cell

[3XCEL_HELP]

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm having in Excel. I have a 25x25 table e.g.

1 2 3 4 5 ..... 25
1 1 1 1 1 ..... 1
2 2 2 2 2 ..... 2
3 3 3 3 3 ..... 3
4 4 4 4 4 ..... 4
5 5 5 5 5 ..... 5
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
25 25 25 25 25 ..... 25

I'm trying to find a way to locate the cell where if the top row (red) equals e.g. 2 and the value in the column under this heading equals e.g. 4, then the formula tells me that this number exists in cell B5

Thanks

Maybe this...

Assuming the matrix is in the range A1:Y26.

AA1 = row value = 4
AB1 = column value = 2

=ADDRESS(MATCH(AA1,A:A,0),MATCH(AB1,1:1,0),4)

Hi,

Thank you - this worked. However, I now want to change the numbers 1 - 25 to a letter/number instead i.e. A1. The formula doesn't seem to accept these changes and I wondered if I am doing something wrong or if it's simply not set up to do that?

Thanks

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

=ADDRESS(MATCH(B30,B3:B27,0)+2,MATCH(B33,B2:Z2,0)+1)

Try this formula

Hi,

Thank you. I have tried this formula but it returns a location of cell G7.. However, the location should be F8.

I have tried amending the formula to:

=ADDRESS(MATCH(B30,B2:Z2,0)+2,MATCH(B33,B3:Z27,0)+1)

But this returns #N/A
