# Find a cell in a worksheet

> Call this API to find the next cell in a DingTalk Spreadsheet worksheet that matches the given string and conditions, starting after the top-left of rangeAddress and optionally intersecting with findOptions.scope.

Find the next cell that matches the given string based on the specified conditions. The search scope covers the entire worksheet starting after the top-left cell of the specified range (that is, rangeAddress). If the `findOptions.scope` parameter is specified, the search scope is further intersected with it.
