Default How do I find value of "x" (col A) when I know "f(x)" (B)?

Suppose I have two columns of data. Column A is the independent variable,
say TIME. Column B is the dependent variable, say SPEED. The data are
collected on a car that starts from rest, accelerates, decellerates, then
stops. Clearly, the car attained some maximum speed during the test. I can
find the value of the maximum speed by using the worksheet function =MAX(B),
but I want to know at what time (column A) the maximum occurred. Of course I
can do a manual (visual) search, but this is laborious and eye-straining for
reams of data. What single worksheet function (or more likely, nested
functions) can I use to return the time value?
