Reference the higest value
I tried several different formulas I found here with no results. What I'm
looking for is a formula that will return me the name of the highest value. Let's say in A we have a list of days, Monday through Friday, and in B we have numbers. If Thursday has the highest number, what kind of formula would only return "Thursday" back, not the value itself? |

Try this
=INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(MAX(B1:B10),B1:B10,0)) Mike "jmj713" wrote: I tried several different formulas I found here with no results.

Reference the higest value
Thank you! That works flawlessly.
To get the second highest, third highest, etc., how do I modify this formula? Or do I need an entirely different one?
