Hi

I am trying to find a code that will allow me to find a maximum value in a
column (say column B) and then finds the corresponding value in the same row
in column A.

Thanks I am quite desprite so any advise would be fantastic

You can use the function MATCH to retrieve the row on which your value is,
then the function INDEX to retrieve the value in column A. Example: which
value is in column A in range A1:B10, where 5 is in colun B?
=INDEX(A1:B10,MATCH(5,B1:B10,0),1)

You can use

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