You could use auto filter to select the maximum. If not =Large(range,1)
returns the largest value in your range, you could vlookup from that if you
like

I'm working with a spreadsheet that tracks the daily orders. I need to find
the maximum orders for any given month and then associate the date that's in
another column. I then need to capture that date and the sales number and
paste them in two other cells.
I can't sort the daily totals so I can't use the vlookup function. It looks
like I can only write a macro and I'm not sure how to do that.

Sample of what I could be working with.

Column a Column b Column c
2,749 11/30/06
2,916 12/01/06
3,055 12/02/06
9,052 12/03/06
4,830 12/04/06
2,308 12/05/06
2,359 12/06/06
4,153 12/07/06

In this sample the number of sales would be 9,052 and the date would be
12/03/06
