How do I get the cell address of a VLOOKUP reference?

I'm trying to get the cell address, not the contents, of a cell referenced
using VLOOKUP. I've tried '=CELL("address", VLOOKUP(5,Table,2,false)', but
I'm getting a formula error. EXCEL 2003. Thanks.

One way:

=CELL("address",OFFSET(Table,MATCH(5,OFFSET(Table,,,,1),FALSE)-1,1))

If you define Table to just be the first column of your table:

=CELL("address",OFFSET(Table,MATCH(5,Table,FALSE)-1,1))


VLOOKUP returns a value, not a range reference.

=CELL("address",INDEX(Table,MATCH(7.5,INDEX(Table,,1),0),2))

Well, OK, if you want to be *efficient* about it...<g>

Had OFFSET stuck in my head, obviously...Thanks for the correction!
