Default choose the highest value in a row and return column number

I have a set of 4 rater judgements over 6 categories like this example:
0 4 0 0 0 0
3 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 2 0 2 0
1 2 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 4 0
0 1 0 0 0 3
0 1 1 1 0 1
The columns are the categories, the rows show how many judges rated that
event as belonging to a certain category. (So row 1 shows that all 4 judges
picked category 2, for example, and row 2 shows that 3 judges picked category
1 and 1 picked category 3). I need to filter this so that for each row, I can
identify the category most judges agreed on. So if the ratio is 4:0 I want
to know which column(category) the 4 is in; if the ratio is 3:1 I want the
column-category 3 judges picked; if it's 2:1:1 I want the one the 2 judges
picked. As for the ties 2:2 or 1:1:1:1, I want a random pick. I am not a
programmer, but looking at Excel's functions I thought there might be a way
to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
