    Question Formula to show Categories with highest ratings

    I have a spreadsheet in which ratings have been given for various categories. I need a formula to show which categories have the highest rating for each row. I have found a formula for when categories are listed in a single column and the ratings in the next column. But the layout of my spreadsheet requires the categories to be listed in the same row, and the ratings in the row/s below. I have attached an example to insert formula in. Hope you can help.

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook. Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Try this:

    =TEXTJOIN(", ",1,FILTER($B$1:$G$1,$B2:$G2=5))

    or this:

    =TEXTJOIN(", ",1,FILTER($B$1:$G$1,$B2:$G2=MAX($B2:$G2)))

    Re: Formula to show Categories with highest ratings

    I forgot to mention that in my actual spreadsheet there are 2 columns, with other data, in between each column. Is there a simple modification to the formula to account for that?

    Thanks. Why: I thought it would be best to provide simplified example, forgetting impact of columns I omitted . Have just updated revised attachment.

    Re: Formula to show Categories with highest ratings

    Try this:

    =TEXTJOIN(", ",1,FILTER($B$1:$AA$1,($F$2:$AE$2="Rating")*($F3:$AE3=MAX($F3:$AE3))))

    I thought it would be best to provide simplified example
    Sure, as long as the 'simplified' version has the same basic layout and headings as the real data, that's fine!!!
