recovering the cell address of a vlookup statement

is there a way to get address_of(vlookup(.....)) ??

where address_of = "A25" (or something in that format) 开发者_开发技巧??

=ADDRESS(MATCH(60,A1:A12,0),1)

Missed out the ,0 making it approximate and not an exact match. This is not good for drop downs combo menus; if two things can be the same, then you need an exact match or it picks up the last one.

Use MATCH() rather than Lookup. The formula below assumes you've got a lookup table in A1:A12.

It looks for the value "60" and turns the returned row index into a textual range address (e.g. "$A$6").

=ADDRESS(MATCH(60,A1:A12,0),1)

The third parameter in MATCH() makes this an exact match.
