=INDEX(Data!$H$1:$H$1000,MATCH(MAX((TEXT(Data!A$1: A$1000,"dd
mmm")=TEXT(A8,"dd mmm"))*(Data!$B$1:$B1000)),((TEXT(Data!A$1:A$1000, "dd
mmm")=TEXT(A8,"dd mmm"))*(Data!$B$1:$B1000)),0),1)

Your formula, as posted/written returns the maximum value in Column B for
those rows matching the date. You would change the $B$1:$B$1000 to
$D$1:$D$1000 if you want to find the row based on the maximum value in
column D.

The value returned is from column H.

I posted a simplified version of my query. Here is a more complete
version:
The formula

{=MAX((TEXT(Data!A$1:A$1000,"dd mmm")=TEXT(A8,"dd
mmm"))*(Data!$B$1:$B1000))}

correctly gives me the maximum value of Data! column B subject to a
specified date (format dd mmm) in columns A of the current and data!
sheets.
That works well. My problem is that while I am interested in the maximum
value returned from Data!B1:B1000 I also want the correspoding value in
another column in the full table Data!A1:H1000, e.g. the value in Data
column
H in the same row as the maximum value returned from Data column D.

I would welcome help from any reader.

You would need an array formula.

What are the conditions in your maxif formula?

The array formula MAXIF correctly gives me the maximum
value of A in a separate sheet in my table Sheet2!A1:H99, say A43.
How
can
I find
the corresponding value in column D in A1:H99, i.e. in this case
Sheet2!D43?
