    Vba vs formula

    I am not certain whether vba is needed or a formula. I first posted under the formula forum but because I have not received any help I thought it may be appropriate for this category. I am under the gun and need help. I am self taught. Here's the problem:

    A row in my spreadsheet is comprised of 4 groups of related data. For example, a name, age, weight, height for 4 different people, so columns A through P. I want to look for those people in the row and find the person with a specific age and display their name and weight if their weight is the greatest. For example, there's 2 people that are 20 (the age I'm searching for). One person is 108 and the other is 150. I want the name and weight of the 150 pound person. How do I do this? There could be any number of persons on a single row.

    Example

    Tom 20 108 5 Sarah 35 190 6 frank 20 150 5

    The formula or vba code returns frank 150

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

    Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (This thread should receive no further responses until this moderation request is fulfilled, as per Forum Rule 7)

    Cross posting between forums is nor advisable nor allowed. VBA gurus will also look at the formula forum, no probs.
