    Question Sorting from highest value to lowest and return name and not value

    Hey,
    I need some help
    I have a huge data excel sheet and made a example and attached.

    What I need to do is to sort the data (data A1- D7) like in A12 to D14.
    Is there a formula i could use? To sort by highest to lowest and return the names instead of the value (A-B-C and so on)?

    Thanks for any help!

    In B12 copied across and down:

    =INDEX($B$1:$D$1,MATCH(LARGE($B2:$D2,COLUMN()-1),$B2:$D2,0))
