Hi

I have a table of data containing results from a Temperature uniformity survey. I have extracted the highest and lowest temperatures for each row in the table but I also need which column those values are from. I need the column number to return a value between 1-9. So, if the highest value is in A10, I need the formula result to be 1. if the highest value is in B10 , I need the formula result to be 2... ect

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
You can use xmatch for that like
Excel Formula:
=xmatch(j10,a10:k10)
where J10 holds the max value for that row.
