Vlad,

It's still an array

=INDEX($B$2:$B$115,MATCH(MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$ H$115="Blue")),$E$2:$E$115,FALSE),1)

The following Array formula retulrns the maximum value in column E
where the value in Column H is Blue

{=MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$H$115="Blue"))}

How would I return the text in Column B for which is on the same line
as the maximum value in column E where the value in Column H is Blue

I'm using Excel 2003
