Hello all,

I have an issue in Excel and I am at a loss with how to solve it...hopefully, someone can help

I currently have a table that has values and dates in months.

I need a formula to return the earliest month that a value occurred in (if multiple times).

Name Highest (Month) Month Bill 16 Aug Matt 356 Jul Bob 356 Jun John 67

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.
