Find the row ID with a formula in an excel report

It is rare that I use this formula but at least, I used it one time. It allows to find in which row is located the value I am looking for.

formula excel

 

When I use the formula ?

When I need to know the row number of a specific value.

 

How to use the formula ?

The formula in this topic is with "," so depending of the operating system of your PC, the formula should have ";" instead of ",".

 

How are the formulas ?

=MATCH()

=VLOOKUP()

Put this formula:

=MATCH(VLOOKUP("chocolate",A:A,1,0),A:A,0)
