Hello--

I have a series of columns for which I'm trying to find the column header
for the max value. For example:

A B C D E F
Store 1 Store 2 Store 3 Store 4
Row 1 1 9 60 72 Store 4
Row 2 16 33 20 25 Store 2
Row 3 26 18 68 79 Store 4

I'm trying to find a formula that looks for the maximum value across a range
of columns and then returns the corresponding column header for that column.
The result I'm looking for is in column F.

Hoping someone can help.

Thanks!!
