Hi, I am wondering if anybody can help me with this. I need to take some
information from Table 1 to a new table which I am working on.
For example, for "apple" in column A, I would like to find the highest
number (30) in Column B and return the correspnonding
text in Column C (a2) to the new table.

Table 1
columnA ColumnB ColumnC
apple 2 a1
apple 30 a2
apple 15 a3
apple 6 a4
apple 12 a5
apple 9 a6
banana 3 b1
banana 10 b2
orange 2 o1
orange 1 o2
cherry 10 c1
peanut 20 p1
peanut 50 p2
peanut 25 p3
tomato 2 t1
tomato l t1
tomato 8 t3


Also, the new table has a lot of additionalinformation and therefore I can
not simple convert Table 1 to the new table.
The expected information needed to added to the new table is:

New Table
columnA ColumnB ColumnC
apple 30 a2
banana 10 b2
orange 2 o1
cherry 10 c1
peanut 50 p2
tomato 8 t3

Can I use the MAX function? Thanks lot !!
