return the page number of a cell that satisfied a condition first

How can return the page number of a cell that satisfied a condition first? I explain my question in the attached file.

    I just looked at this reference page

    https://exceljet.net/search?query=page

    which is quite reliable, in my experience. Note that it says nothing about formulas or functions that return "Page" value....

    I think that's because it's a very arbitrary and temporary attribute, not actually connected with the cell in question. Your page break between 1 and 2 is quite arbitrary, readily moved...

     

    So why don't we dig deeper here: What are you actually trying to do? There probably is another more robust way to accomplish it.
