Default Identify which column 'Large' finds a match in


I have a grid that shows categories along the top, and people down the left.
For each person, the categories may show zero time, or increments up to 100.
I then need the "percent of time" in decending order, so I'm using
=large(array,1) followed by =large(array,2), etc. (see example, below)

Now that I have all of these values, in addition to knowing what the
percents are, I need to know which category each percent represents, so I can
use it to color code my sheet. For example, any percents associated with
category 1 might be red, regardless of whether that category ended up as the
largest, second largest, (etc) number.

I can't use MATCH because in some cases, I have multiple cells with the same
value. For example:
(red) (yel) (blu) (gre) (ora) (pur) (gry)
Cat1 Cat2 Cat3 Cat4 Cat5 Cat6 Cat7 Large1
Large2 Large3 etc
Person A 0 25 50 25 0 0 0 50
25 25
Person B 25 0 25 0 0 25 25 25
25 25
Person C 10 70 0 10 10 0 0 70
10 10
Person D 0 0 0 0 30 40 30 40
30 30

I need to pull over the column info so that the final order is color coded
as the following.

Large1 Large2 Large3
blu yel gre
red blu pur
yel red gre
pur ora gry

How can I find out which cell LARGE is actually returning a value from?

Thank you,
Keith
