    Attached is a possible solution that works in all versions of Excel. The formula must be entered as an arrayformula with ctrl+shift+enter if someone doesn't work with Office 365 or Excel for the web or Excel 2024.

    =IFERROR(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUM(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(N($A2=INDIRECT(B$1&"!A2:E16"))),
ROW(INDIRECT(B$1&"!A2:E16")))),SUM(MMULT(N($A2=INDIRECT(B$1&"!A2:E16")),
TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(INDIRECT(B$1&"!A2:E16")))))+1,,,B$1)),"")
