Default Finding the maxium value of a column

Hi,
Is there a way to find the maximum value of a column in Excel and then list
it along with the corresponding values in adjacent cells in the row? I know
it can be done with simply sorting the data but I was hoping to do it without
rearranging the data.
Thanks,

For Max: =MAX(B:B)
For cell next to it: =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MAX(B:B),B:B))

In both cases B:B (etc) can be replaced by range such as B3:B233


best wishes

Requires that col B be sorted in ascending order. If that doesn't apply, use

=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MAX(B:B),B:B,0))

which also picks up the ties of the max value.
