Default Formula to display the winner

I have a sheet that consists of a list of team names in column B.
A running total (provided via VB) in column D which increases by the cell
value inputted into column C.
I would like to be able to find the highest value in column C and display
the corresponding name from column B in another cell. (E,F5?)

TIA

Assumes your teams/scores are in the range c1:c10, Try this:-

=OFFSET(C1,MATCH(MAX(C1:C10),$C$1:$C$10,0)-1,-1,1,1)

Hello Bob,

Like so many things in Excel, there is more than one way to excoriate a
feline.
I'm going to have a read now as to why it works.;)

Many thanks
