    Find highest value, return entire column.

    Hi,

    I have a spreadsheet with a number of columns and below each column is the sum of the cells in each column.
    I would like a function that searches for the highest sum and then return the entire column above that sum in a new column.

    Does anyone have an idea what I can do?

    Re: Find highest value, return entire column.

    in F7
    =MAX($A$7:$C$7)

    in F1
    =OFFSET($A1,0,MATCH(MAX($A$7:$C$7),$A$7:$C$7,0)-1)
    and copy down

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Another solution, in F1 then drag down:

    =LOOKUP(2,1/(MAX($A$7:$D$7)=$A$7:$D$7),A1:D1)
