    Calculating 1st position without additional cumulative calculations

    Hi guys,
    Need help with the attached excel file.
    Its related to a game. There are 10 players numbered 1 to 10 and at each round (labelled r1 r2 etc.) they get points as populated in the file.

    What I need is: I would like to identify the player with the highest score at each round (cells d14 - e16). But I do not want to have additional columns to calculate the cumulative score at each round for each player (like column J onwards).

    Is there a way I can do this ?

    You could :-

    =MATCH(MAX(D2:D11),D2:D11,0)
    =SUMPRODUCT(MATCH(MAX(D2:D11+E2:E11),D2:D11+E2:E11,0))
    =SUMPRODUCT(MATCH(MAX(D2:D11+E2:E11+F2:F11),D2:D11+E2:E11+F2:F11,0))
    =SUMPRODUCT(MATCH(MAX(D2:D11+E2:E11+F2:F11+G2:G11),D2:D11+E2:E11+F2:F11+G2:G11,0))
    =SUMPRODUCT(MATCH(MAX(D2:D11+E2:E11+F2:F11+G2:G11+H2:H11),D2:D11+E2:E11+F2:F11+G2:G11+H2:H11,0))

    in cells e14 to e18
