I have a worksheet that has salespeople's names in column B and sales
totals
in column AJ. Obviously these totals change over time. I would like to
had
a formula that checks for the largest sales number (I got the MAX part)
and
pulls the name in column B. Basically I'd like a section where I can have
"Salesperson of the month:" and the output. I do have data in column A
and
in various more columns after AJ that I would not like to move around.
