hello all.

i have sales data with the following:
A B C D
Month-year | Part number | SALE QTY 2020 | SALE QTY 2019

02/2020 XXXX 2
.....
...
... XXXX 5
... ZZZZ 6
09/2019 YYYY 9
.....
...
... XXXX 12
... ZZZZ 6

in order to project the purchuses from the supplier im trying to i dentify the "PEAK" month of sales per year 2019 / 2020

the outcome should tell me what is the MONTH (not the value of QTY) which the peak occured.

>>> I have excel 2013 (maxIFS not availabe).

thank you very much.

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
sorry, the exaple turned bad in last post
uploading the example here:
in the PEAK column i need the answer per line, so the answer may duplicate , which is ok for me.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Always a good idea to include the expected results so we know what we are aiming for, For example, I'm unclear what result(s) you expect for 2020 where two months have equal top sales.

To get the first month with max sales, try these, copied down.

thank you for your reply.

i just painted a picture , but basically there is no way in the world that two (or more) months will come out with the same results so i'm expecting to have an absolute 1 value to come out.

Im sorry, i dont know how to edit my posts , so i have to open new post (please guide me if possible).
the formula you presented gives wrong result.

for 51601370200 result came sep-19
but in fact peak sales for that PN was in May-19.

the idea is to show the max sales month per PN by month (each year in separate)

thanks again.

If this is not what you want, please post sample data and all expected results with explanation in relation to that sample data.

1000s of thanks to you!
