Hi, I need your help with returning duplicate max values.
I have in column A numbers of winning in a game
And in column B the names of each player
In cell C2 i want to return the name of the guy who has the max numbers of winning so i use this command:
=INDEX($A$1:$A$16,MATCH(MAX($B$1:$B$16),$B$1:$B$16,0))
And its works.
The problem is when i have two people with same amoint of winning (lets say 5 times and thia ia the max value) the formula will return in C1 only the firat name..
How can i make it to write all the names that have the MAX winnig value
So in C1 i will have all the names that has the max value of winnings and i want it to be in the same cell so its should be: name1, name2, name3
Thank you!

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.

with this description your formula shouldn't work.

How about PowerQuery?
Code: 
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(Source,{"Number"},#"Table1 (2)",{"Max"},"Table1 (2)",JoinKind.RightOuter),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Merged Queries",{"Table1 (2)"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"[/SIZE]

First of all thanks for the quick response!
My only problem is that I really need it to be in the same cell, I mean all the names in the same cell. Is it possible?
And also for what I know for power query you need to download an addon and i cant download it on the computer that i gonna do the excel file

If you interested in a UDF
Code: 
Function GetMax(rng As Range) As String
   Dim Mx As Double
   Dim Cl As Range
   
   Mx = Application.Max(rng.Offset(, 1))
   For Each Cl In rng
      If Cl.Offset(, 1) = Mx Then
         If GetMax = "" Then GetMax = Cl Else GetMax = GetMax & ", " & Cl
      End If
   Next Cl
End Function

all depends on your excel version. it's basic info you should show in the first post. if it is 2016 or higher - PowerQuery is built-in.

Thanks very much! Its great!
Just from curiosity is there any way without UDF?
and another thing, how can i make a comment or mouseover message when i will select the cell C2 or mouseover this cell with the number of winnings? So in the cell i have the names like you did but when i mouseover it i will have a tooltip saying total winnigs: 5.
And obviously if the number of winning change the tooltip text/comment text will also change

Whilst it's probably possible to do with a formula, I wouldn't now how.
This will add a comment to the cell, showing the Max value
Code: 
Function GetMax(rng As Range, Cll As Range)
   Dim Mx As Double
   Dim Cl As Range
   
   Mx = Application.Max(rng.Offset(, 1))
   For Each Cl In rng
      If Cl.Offset(, 1) = Mx Then
         If GetMax = "" Then GetMax = Cl Else GetMax = GetMax & ", " & Cl
      End If
   Next Cl
   If Not Cll.Comment Is Nothing Then Cll.Comment.Delete
   Cll.Addcomment.Text CStr(Mx)
End Function
