Referencing text of a cell next to the greatest value in column
I have two columns, one with a list of names and one with a list of scores.
On a different worksheet, I use the Max function to determine the highest value in the column of scores. Next to that cell, I want to reference the name next to whomever has the highest score. Does anyone have a simple function to select the correct name? |

=INDEX(Sheet1!A1:A6,MATCH(MAX(Sheet1!B1:B6),Sheet1 !B1:B6,0))
In this example A1:B6, adapt to tour needs. -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Jrbuman" wrote in message ... |I have two columns, one with a list of names and one with a list of scores. | On a different worksheet, I use the Max function to determine the highest | value in the column of scores.
