I have the following dummy table.

Value of Header1 will be in cell A18. Value of Header2 will be in cell A19 and value Header3 will be in cell A20.

I have about 20 headers and I want the highest number in the range based on what is in the relevant cell. The order of the headers may change, so for one month it may not have all 20 options.

Desired result

Header1

Header2
7​
Header3
19​

Hi @junkforhr , I hope you're doing well.
Thanks for posting on the forum.

Try the following formula. You will have to adjust it to the range where you have the data and where you have the headers.
