How do I find the largest in a column
I have a datebase containing 2 columns. In one column I have a persons name
in the other column is a number associated with that name. I would like to search the column with numbers and find that largest number and the persons name associated with that number and they place that name and number in another cell. Example of names and numbers appear below. The answer can be in one column or two. Can this be done? Thanks in advance, Gordon Smith, George 230 Henry, Bill 210 Thomas, Frank 200 Answer: Smith, George 230 |

How do I find the largest in a column
Assume your names are in the range A1:A3 and the corresponding numbers are in
B1:B3. In another cell (i.e. C1) put this formula: =INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH(MAX(B1:B3),B1:B3,0)) In C2 put this formula: =MAX(B1:B3) Change the row/column references to fit your data -- Regards, Dave "BigBuck98" wrote: I have a datebase containing 2 columns.

Gordon,
your question implies that there can only be one highest value - no possibility of 2 or more people having the same highest value? Pete |

Pete,
Yes, I guess there could be more than one. Gordon "Pete" wrote in message ups.com... Gordon, your question implies that there can only be one highest value - no possibility of 2 or more people having the same highest value? Pete |
