    Find Max Value in an Array and return the Column Title

    Looking for a formula to use to find the maximum value within an array and then display the title of that column. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jamie

    Welcome to the forum.

    Try this:

    =INDEX($A$1:$F$1,MAX(IF($A$2:$F$7=MAX($A$2:$F$7),COLUMN($A$2:$F$7)-COLUMN($A$1)+1)))

    Column headers are in A1 to F1.
