Looking up and matching rows to columns

Hi guys -

I have a document where there are hundreds of rows and columns. The rows contain lines of data, while the columns are topics. Each row needs to be traced to an aprropriate column. Once traced, I simply check off the appropriate cell with an X. I have to make sure that each row has at least one "X".

I have attached a sample file. Please look at cell B8. The statement in this row reads "Issue Placard information and registration". Now, I already know what column this statement belongs to (column CT).... but I don't want to scroll over hundreds of columns to that particular column, or have to freeze any panes, to locate that cell and mark it off. I have been doing this manually and it is incredibly tedious and time-consuming. Is there a way where I can locate the appropriate cell and go to it without having to scroll? When I'm scrolling I have to not only scroll, but I have to read the rows and columns again to make sure they indeed match. I want to be able to locate the right cell instantaneously and just enter an X value.

I guess what I am also trying to say is... if I know the column that needs to be checked off, can I just type the column value and have it go to the appropriate cell in that column? I really don't want to do any scrolling, freezing of panes, or hiding of rows. Thanks in advance.
 
When you say "type the column value", do you mean the column number, cell reference (like CT8) or something else?
