Default left vlookup with max

hi there,

i have two columns of data, for example Column P has a description and
Column R has the value, is it possible to find the max value in Col R and
have the corresponding description in Col P displayed in another cell?

there is a one column gap in between, is that going to make a difference?

thank you for your help

One way
In say, T2: =INDEX(P2:P10,MATCH(MAX(R2:R10),R2:R10,0))
Adapt the ranges to suit. Success? hit the YES below
