It might be better to use :
=INDEX(A2:A10,MATCH(LARGE(B2:B10,1),B2:B10))
as it allows for the kth highest value's name to be displayed, by simply
changing the number at LARGE(B2:B10,number).

Assuming the data is in cells A2:B10

You can use this Simple formula

=INDEX(A2:A10,MATCH(MAX(B2:B10),B2:B10))

I have a list with value_name and its value. Is there a formula that
can look down the list and pick the highest value and return the
value_name

For example

_Value_Name_ _Value_
Value A 5
Value B 10
Value C 33
Value D 8
Value E 51
Value F 32
Value G 47
Value H 9
Value I 41

So the formula would return Value E as its result.

Would be much appreciated :)
