Thanks Domenic, your comments clarify the Help "verbage".

As per Excel's help file...

"If array contains only one row or column, the corresponding row_num or
column_num argument is optional."

So, in this case, since we only have one row, the row_num argument is
omitted and MATCH(MAX(...)) is used for the column_num argument.

Hope this helps!

Excel returns the column letter; and we give the column argument 0
(zero)..??? programming,, go figure...
