=INDEX($D$1:$D$20,MATCH(MAX($A$1:$A$20),$A$1:$A$20,0))
You can try INDEX and MATCH. An alternative could be VLOOKUP. If you work with Office365 or 2021 you can apply XLOOKUP as well.
- bertie395Oct 25, 2022Copper ContributorThank you for your speedy reply.
I explained myself incorrectly and used columns when I should have said rows. My apologies.
