LOOKUP & RETURN CELL ADDRESS

What formula would I use to look up the address of the maximum value in a
column and return the cell address not the value?

See the formula system I describe in:

Assume you have a column header in row one, & that cell is named 'hdr'
Assume your column of values is named tbl, and starts in row 2

=ADDRESS(ROW(OFFSET(hdr,MATCH(MAX(tbl),tbl),0)),COLUMN(hdr))



will give you the address of the FIRST value equal to the max value in the
list

MATCH(MAX(tbl),tbl) would only work when tbl is sorted in ascending order,
in which case ROWS(tbl) would be much simpler. Perhaps you meant
MATCH(MAX(tbl),tbl,0)?

More compact to use

=CELL("Address",INDEX(tbl,MATCH(MAX(tbl),tbl,0)))
