Silly typos:
=INDEX(A2:A555,MATCH(MAX(CJ2:CJ555),CJ2:CJ555,0))
sorry!

In CJ2 enter =MAX(B2:CH2)
Copy this down to row 555
To get the name use
=INDEX(A2:A555,MATCH(MAX(CJ2:CI555),CI2:CJ555,0))
best wishes

MIN and MAX return the value. I would like to return the cell reference
containing that value. For example MAX(B2:CH555) returns 7580. I would
like
it to return M350. Or better yet, the value in A350, the player!

Application: Scores for our group. Names appear in ColumnA. Dates we
played in Row1. Individual scores in B2:CH555. A couple of extra rows
and
columns for averages. I want to know WHO had the highest score for the
year,
who had the lowest, etc.

The tedious way is to use MIN and MAX, then CNTRL-F to find the returned
value.

Thanks for solving the puzzle.
