Good Evening All
Please can I get some help with a formula :

In the view below I would like a formula in column E that sums the sales by Supplier (column B) in each group (column A) and returns the Group where the highest sales occurred for each supplier, irrespective of product (column c). So, as the table below column E has "Grp3" for all rows with supplier 1 and Grp 2 for all rows with supplier 2 etc

Thanks in advance

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Try the following UDF.

Put the following code in a module:

VBA Code:
Function FindGroup(data As Range, supplier As String) As String
'find group with highest sales per supplier
  Dim dic As Object
  Dim a As Variant
  Dim i As Long
  Dim highsupp As String
  Dim nMax As Double
  
  Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  a = data.Value
  For i = 1 To UBound(a, 1)
    If a(i, 2) = supplier Then
      dic(a(i, 1)) = dic(a(i, 1)) + a(i, 4)
      If dic(a(i, 1)) > nMax Then
        nMax = dic(a(i, 1))
        highsupp = a(i, 1)
      End If
    End If
  Next
  FindGroup = highsupp
End Function

HOW TO INSTALL UDFs
If you are new to UDFs, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. You can now use FindGroup just like it was a built-in Excel function. For example:

(In fact, in your example, the group with the most sales for supplier1 is grp7, its sales add up to 35.)

NOTE XL2BB:
For the future, it would help greatly if you could give us the sample data in a form that we can copy to test with, rather that a picture.
MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in
Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

The VBA code for the UDF works perfectly Dante - Thanks for your answer. I am still trying to get a formula solution if possible

Thanks

Thank you for your answer Fluff. I have 365 but not the "Let" function (Work machine)

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=TAKE(SORTBY(UNIQUE($A$2:$A$15),SUMIFS(D:D,B:B,B2,A:A,UNIQUE($A$2:$A$15)),-1),1)

Thanks for this, but the "Take" function also does not work on my machine - I think I am going to ask IT to see if I can get the Latest upgrades

Not a problem, try
Excel Formula:
=INDEX(SORTBY(UNIQUE($A$2:$A$15),SUMIFS(D:D,B:B,B2,A:A,UNIQUE($A$2:$A$15)),-1),1)
