Hi,

I am new here. The question I am asking may have a solution in a previous thread. If so, please share a link to it. Really appreciate it.

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]E[/TD]

[TD]172[/TD]
[TD]102[/TD]
[TD]180[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]

How can I get the 'xx' & 'yy' to return 'Cashier A' & 2-Jan?

Thank you.

Hi,

There is a strong chance that I have overthought this and someone will comeup with a simpler solution but here it is:


Book1
ABCDEFG
1DateCashier ACashier BCashier CMax200
21-Jan164156157CashierCashier B
32-Jan182200158Date2-Jan
43-Jan172102180
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
G1=MAX($B$2:$D$4)
G2{=INDEX($B$1:$D$1,SMALL(IF(MMULT({1,1,1},--($B$2:$D$4=$G$1)),COLUMN($B$2:$D$2)-COLUMN($B$2)+1),1))}
G3{=INDEX($A$2:$A$4,SMALL(IF(INDEX($B$2:$D$4,,MATCH($G$2,$B$1:$D$1,0))=$G$1,ROW($A$2:$A$4)-ROW($A$2)+1),1))}
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.

Hi Aryatect,

I am basically jumping up and down now. That was amazing. I do envy the logical build behind the whole formula. Thank you so much.:bow:

I think below may be a better formula to list duplicates too:


Book1
ABCDEFGHI
1DateCashier ACashier BCashier CMax200Max Count2
21-Jan200156157CashierCashier ACashier B
32-Jan182200158Date3-Jan2-Jan
43-Jan172102180
Sheet7
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
I1=COUNTIF($B$2:$D$4,G1)
G1=LARGE($B$2:$D$4,1)
G3=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$4,MATCH($G$1,INDEX($B$2:$D$4,,MATCH(G$2,$B$1:$D$1,0)))),"")
G2{=IF(COLUMNS($G$2:G2)>$I$1,"",INDEX($B$1:$D$1,AGGREGATE(15,6,(COLUMN($B$2:$D$2)-COLUMN($B$2)+1)/($B$2:$D$4=$G$1),COLUMNS($G$2:G2))))}
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.

If you only want to work on a single maximum:

The formulas in G2 and G3 are array formulas
Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.
Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself

Copy to H2 and H3
