=MAX-Return Cell info
To get Mr. B:
=INDEX(B1:E1,MIN(IF(B2:E4=MAX(B2:E4),COLUMN(B2:E4)-1))) to get the 3/1/2006 =INDEX(A2:A4,MIN(IF(B2:E4=MAX(B2:E4),ROW(B2:E4)-1))) This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type them yourself.) Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column--oddly enough, you can use the whole row. Matthew wrote: Please help all you clever people !!

Yes, you are right...it could be repeated...unlikely...but possible ! Dammit!!
I cant quite get the date formulae to work....could it be because my data is in the range B241..F267? I can get the name bit right no problem - {=INDEX($B$241:$F$241,MIN(IF(C242:F267=MAX(C242:F2 67),COLUMN(C242:F267)-1)))} "Biff" wrote: I'll await a reply from the OP!
