Default Simple VLOOKUP with NON ascending order

Hi,

Is this what you want

=INDEX(A3:A30,MATCH(MAX(B3:B30),B3:B30,FALSE),1)

change MAX to MIN for the minumum assists etc

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Morning folks: I am trying to do something very simple but I just can't seem
to get it to work the way I want! I have been searching for an answer for 2
days now!!!

On my STATS page I have a list of basketball players down a column (taken
from TEAM LIST page) and the next columns have their POINTS, REBOUNDS,
ASSISTS, etc. (taken from GAMES DATA page)
At the bottom, I want to see who has the most points: '=MAX(B3:B30)' and I
would like to show that players name next to the number returned from MAX.
The same for '=MIN(B3:B30)'
I think my problem is that player #1 may have a higher number than Player#23
and my calculation returns 'N/A', am I right thinking this? Am I getting
caught on some restrictions I don't know about?

Thanks for all your help!
