Default Look for similar text and find the largest value and return va

Ok.....

with this data in A2:C7 -

a 0 1
b 0 5
c 0 2
b 1 6
c 1 3
b 2 4

A10 = A
A11 = B
A12 = C

Enter this formula in B10 using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not
just ENTER):

=MAX(IF(A$2:A$7=A10,B$2:B$7))

Enter this formula in C10 using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not
just ENTER):

=INDEX(C$2:C$7,MATCH(1,(A$2:A$7=A10)*(B$2:B$7=B10) ,0))

Select both B10 and C10 and copy down to row 12.

Results will be:

A 0 1
B 2 4
C 1 3
