Simple problem...but's it's driving me spastic

I need a formula that returns a cell reference (in R1C1 style. Using a reference, it looks it up in an array. For example, looking up reference "November" in array A1:A12 will return "A11".

Cheers

Hi Peter

Sounds like you need the MATCH formula nested with the ADDRESS formula>

=ADDRESS(MATCH("November",A1:A12),1,,0)
