    How to find the column with the max value and return the column title.

    Good morning,

    I am looking for a formula that will identify which column has the maximum value and then it will return the name of that title.

    See attached for an example.

    Thank you!

    In H3, copied down:

    =INDEX($D$2:$G$2,MATCH(MAX(D3:G3),D3:G3,0))
