Hi,

You may try this array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter). This is in range A1:B7

Ashish 100
Sanjay 200
Pongal 300
Ashish 400
Rajesh 500
Suresh 600
Ashish 700

Enter Ashish (below) in cell A10.

Ashish

In cell B10, enter the follwoing array formula

=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($A$1:$B$7,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$7=$A$ 10,ROW($A$1:$A$7)),ROW(1:1)),2)),"",INDEX($A$1:$B$ 7,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$7=$A$10,ROW($A$1:$A$7)),ROW(1:1 )),2))

Copy this formula down. You will now have multiple occurences of numbers
against the name Ashish. You may now use the max function

only from the second column. Suggestions?
