I'm looking for something similar to the MATCH command in Excel, specifically a command (or combination of commands) that will search for a value and return a range of cells that the value appears in, rather than just a single cell location like MATCH does. Any ideas?

=COUNTIF('my_tab'!D:D,"asdf") will count how many times "asdf" appears in the D column. I know you want a range of cells that contain "asdf", but this might be helpful if you could use the total number of asdf's in some sort of match loop.
