Default Max


Hi There,

2 columns , A and B (A with animals, B with number of animals)

Cats 3
Dogs 2
Mice 6
Birds 3
Lions 0


I want the MAX three numbers - forumlae to do this is LARGE(B1:b5,{1})
(and similiar large... {2}... large {3} In the above eg gives a 6 as a
result) but how do I then translate that 6 into its description, ie
mice???
Vlookup wont work because you may have 2 hits, eg Cats and birds both
have 3 hits

Hope this isnt too confusing....

Thanks!!!
