Default Finding a cell location

Something like this will extract the col header within B1:E1
for the max within each row in row2 down
(that's the underlying functionality that you seek)

In F2: =INDEX($B$1:$E$1,MATCH(MAX(B2:E2),B2:E2,0))
Copy F2 down

If there are any ties in the maximum,
the expression returns the leftmost col header

High-five?, click YES below

I am trying to find the exact cell reference (or even column) that contains
the max of a range.
Basically, after I find the highest or lowest of a range, I want to be able
to identify which column it's in and then display that column heading in
another cell.
