Default Highest Values Comparison

I have a list of 20 names all with 24 separate attributes. Using the max()
function, I can get the highest value for each attribute. With the highest
attributes in a separate table, how do I get the corresponding name to appear
next to each of them?

Default Highest Values Comparison

Hi,

This finds the maximum value in column B and returns the adjacent value
(name) from columnA

=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MAX(B:B),B:B,FALSE),1)

Use INDEX and MATCH functions to achieve this..Get the row number using the
MATCH function

=INDEX(Array,MATCH(),Colum number)
