MONTH is a function which extracts from the date in B2:B10 the relevant
month. Example: if the value in B2 is October 10, 2007, =MONTH(B2) will
return October, or 10 depending on how the cell is formatted. The formula
provided will work if the columns are laid out per the assumptions. If these
assumptions do not pertain to your data, post back with information about how
your data are laid out and someone can adjust the formula provided.

There is no "Month" row, but when I added one, the formula did not return the
correct results (wrong store number matched to the highest score). Without
the date, Exel gives me a message telling me I don't have enough arguments
for the formula. I appreciate your quick response, but it's not working for
me.

Assume
Store number in A2:A10
Date in B2:B10
Score in C2:C10

=INDEX(A2:A10,MATCH(MAX(IF((MONTH(B2:B10)=2),C2:C1 0)),C2:C10,0))

ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter

I'm tracking stats for stores performances in various departments. Each
criteria has been assigned a value and the Total row sums the total points
for each store. I would like another area/page to show the top store for
each month. I have entered a formula to have it show the max score for each
month but I would like it to show the column heading for the top store
instead, which is the store number. How do I do this?
