How to return a row reference

[NHRunner]

I have a formula which needs a row reference. The row reference needs to be
the result of search.

The search is on a series of ascending dates in a column.

I need to search the column to find an exact match on a supplied date and
return the ROW reference not the date value.

Look at the MATCH() function

I tried that but it only returned the row relative to the start of the
range.
I just realized that since I'm searching for an exact match I can always
start the range at row one and I get the actual row in the sheet which is
what I need.

Thanks for triggering the thought process.
