No built-in one, no, but you can do something in vba like:

Code:

x = [TOCOL(IF(A1:A9="Pears",ROW(A1:A9),NA()),3,FALSE)]

which with your data will get you a 2d array x(1 to 3, 1 to 1) which you could transpose to 1d array with

Code:

x = [transpose(TOCOL(IF(A1:A9="Pears",ROW(A1:A9),NA()),3,FALSE))]

However, it matters more what you intend to do with the results whether your function returns a range object or just an array of row numbers, or something else?
