one way:

=INDEX($C$1:$C$4,MATCH(MAX(($A$1:$A$4="Joe")*($B$1 :$B$4)),$B$1:$B$4,0))

Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Substitute "Joe" with cell containing name

I have data like this

EMPLOYEE SALE STATE
Joe 10.00 PA
Joe 20.00 VA
Sue 5.00 TX
Sue 10.00 WA

For each employee, how do I find the state that corresponds to the
largest
sale. For example, for Joe this would be VA since his largest sale of
20.00
was to VA.
