No, Dave. You gave me too much credit. I was writing the formula in the
reply, on the fly, and forgot to put the MAX() function in. Somedays you
just gotta drink 2 cups of coffee before giving advice.

I'm betting you put =max(b2:b10) in D2.

But you could have just used that in your formula:

=INDEX(A2:A10,MATCH(max(b2:b10),B2:B10,0))

Assuming the data is in cells A2:B10, use the formula

=INDEX(A2:A10,MATCH(D2,B2:B10,0))

I have a list with value_name and its value. Is there a formula that
can look down the list and pick the highest value and return the
value_name

For example

_Value_Name_ _Value_
Value A 5
Value B 10
Value C 33
Value D 8
Value E 51
Value F 32
Value G 47
Value H 9
Value I 41

So the formula would return Value E as its result.

Would be much appreciated :)
