Looking for a way to select winners based on location

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a formula or function whereby a winner can be selected, based on highest points from a specific location.

For clarification - we have Name, Points, and Location fields. I want to pull the Name of the person with the most points at each location. So one winner from Location A, one from Location B, etc.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). 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.

Shortened the whole thing by using this formula

=INDEX($A$2:$A$19,MATCH(MAXIFS($B$2:$B$19,$C$2:$C$19,D2),$B$2:$B$19,0))
