I'm trying to determine the item no. under catagory "T01", within a period from 1/1/2017 to 1/31/2017 contributed highest amt, without using sum column or helper column. Is there a way to do this?

For example here, the sum of Item A under T01 within this period 25 and the sum of item B under T01 within this period is 30 - the highest based on the data provided is "item B"

I want to show the information in the list below, Red text are determined by formular.

I have researched online to find the answer - but it's quite difficult to apply the logic - I attached the links here -

Thank you for your kind attention!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Given the type of your question, the following link would be more appropriate:

Taking up your goal, that is, "I'm trying to determine the item no. under catagory "T01", within a period from 1/1/2017 to 1/31/2017 contributed highest amt, without using sum column or helper column", consider the following.

In H2 control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=MAX(SUMIFS($D$2:$D$9,$A$2:$A$9,IF(FREQUENCY(IF(1-($A$2:$A$9=""),MATCH($A$2:$A$9,$A$2:$A$9,0)),ROW($A$2:$D$9)-ROW(INDEX($A$2:$D$9,1,1))+1),$A$2:$A$9),$B$2:$B$9,F1,$C$2:$C$9,">="&$F$2,$C$2:$C$9,"<="&$F$3))

In H4 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$9,SMALL(IF(SUMIFS($D$2:$D$9,$A$2:$A$9,IF(FREQUENCY(IF(1-($A$2:$A$9=""),MATCH($A$2:$A$9,$A$2:$A$9,0)),ROW($A$2:$D$9)-ROW(INDEX($A$2:$D$9,1,1))+1),$A$2:$A$9),$B$2:$B$9,$F$1,$C$2:$C$9,">="&$F$2,$C$2:$C$9,"<="&$F$3)=$H$2,ROW($A$2:$D$9)-ROW(INDEX($A$2:$D$9,1,1))+1),ROWS($H$4:H4))),"")
