I have two worksheets.

Lets say work sheet "apple", has the foll. data

A | B
_______________
1 | Jack | 45
2 | Martha | 32
3 | Eddie | 28
4 | Joe | 56
5 | Mary | 64
6 | Susan | 88


In another work sheet how can I extract the row and colum index of cell with
maximum value. In other words what formula can I use (in another) worksheet
to know the cell index of column B in worksheet "apple".

Please provide your inputs.

Thanks

Since you seem to be looking column B, the Column index is 2. Or did I misunderstand your question?

The Row index:

=MATCH(MAX(Sheet2!B:B),Sheet2!B:B,0)

Beware of duplicates.
