Classification
Hello,
I am trying to classify 5 columns of scores into groups based on the dominant score in each row. for example, if column A2 has the highest score out of A2:E2, then the classification number should be 1. likewise if E2 has the highest score out of A2:E2, then the classification number should be 5 any thoughts? |
Classification
Do you mean
=MAX(A2:E2) -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "Kristin" wrote: Hello, I am trying to classify 5 columns of scores into groups based on the dominant score in each row. for example, if column A2 has the highest score out of A2:E2, then the classification number should be 1. likewise if E2 has the highest score out of A2:E2, then the classification number should be 5 any thoughts? |
Classification
Do you mean
=MAX(A2:E2) Maybe more like =MATCH(MAX(A2:E2),A2:E2,0) I guess. Regards, Bernd |

sort of, but i don't need the value of the max, i need the column that the
max value is in...

=MATCH(MAX(A2:E2),A2:E2) -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "Kristin" wrote: sort of, but i don't need the value of the max, i need the column that the max value is in...
