    Returning the column title text that matches the value of the resulting large function.

    I have a spreadsheet of physical education assessment results, for over 15 sports. For the assessment, 4 of the highest scores go forward. I have a large function, =LARGE(W2:DT2,1), to find the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th highest scores. Next to large results, I want the sport it is in, which means I want a function that returns the column heading from which the large result came from. This function will need to apply for each row.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Thanks,
    Jon.

    =INDEX(A1:B14,MATCH(LARGE(B1:B14,1),B1:B14,0),1)

    This doesnt cover 2 identical scores though...
    Hope this helps

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.
