How to get cell address from Find function in Excel VBA

How do I get cell address using Find function.

Here's the code

Dim Found As Range

Set Found = Worksheets("Sheet 1").Cells.Find(What:="test", LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=True)

If Not Found Is Nothing Then
    ' do something
End If

When I debug the code, "Found" variable contain a "string" instead of cell address.

I could not find this anywhere on the internet. This code will give you the row and the column.

Dim ThisPos As Range
With Range("A1:J100")
    Set ThisPos = .Find(What:="List_Position", LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
    If Not ThisPos Is Nothing Then
        Cell_Add = Split(ThisPos.Address, "$")
        ThisCol = Cell_Add(1)
        ThisRow = Cell_Add(2)
    End If
End With

This code will give you reference style of the cell address.

 Dim SValue As Range
   With Range("D1:D100")

    Set SValue = .Find(What:="Searched Value", LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
    
    If Not SValue Is Nothing Then
        Cell_Split_R = Split(SValue.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1), "R")
        Cell_Split_C = Split(Cell_Split_R(1), "C")
        SCol = Cell_Split_C(0)
        SRow = Cell_Split_C(1)
        
    End If
End With

It seems you can just use found.address even though it shows as string. The below code worked for me.

Sub findCellAddress()

    Dim ra As Range

    Set ra = Cells.Find(What:="fff", LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
        :=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
        False, SearchFormat:=False)

    If ra Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox ("Not found")
        Else
        MsgBox (ra.Address)
    End If

End Sub
