Re: [libreoffice-users] How to return cell address/reference instead of function result with 2d operations?

Original posting of columns and rows got converted to single column. Also, 
did some other adding of stuff, and lost the info on rows 7 and 8??

Columns A - C with 8 rows
==================
1       2       3
4       5       6
6               
#N/A    #N/A    2
0       0       2
C2              
                2
C2              
==================

Probable a better way to do it, but this seems to work, could probable get it 
into a single cell, but would be a long formula. Using the Row 7 and 8 
method seems fine to figure which column, and then the row.

Numbers in A1- C2
A3 - =MAX(A1:C2);
A4 - =MATCH(MAX($A$1:$C$2),A1:A2,0)0;
B4 - =MATCH(MAX($A$1:$C$2),B1:B2,0)0;
C4 - =MATCH(MAX($A$1:$C$2),C1:C2,0)0;
Finds which Column has Value and row
Row 5 used IFNA to set #N/A to 0
A5 - =IFNA(A4,0);
B5 - =IFNA(B4,0);
C5 - =IFNA(C4,0);
Row 6 creates Address           
A6 - =IF(A5>0,"A","")&IF(B5>0,"B","")&IF(C5>0,"C","")&MAX(A5:C5)                
                
Row 7 – Reduced need of extra Row               
A7 - =IFNA(MATCH(MAX($A$1:$C$2),A1:A2,0),"")            
B7 - =IFNA(MATCH(MAX($A$1:$C$2),B1:B2,0),"")            
C7 - =IFNA(MATCH(MAX($A$1:$C$2),C1:C2,0),"")            
Row 8 creates Address           
A8 - =IF(A7<>"","A","")&IF(B7<>"","B","")&IF(C7<>"","C","")&MAX(A7:C7)
