hi everyone, 

Given the 'CUSTOMER CODE' with multiple 'SALES' I would like to return the 'SALES ADVISOR' with the best/max 'SALES' value.

i.e. given '987654' -----> 'MERCO'

 

I tried different vlookup with no success.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Matteo

    With the customer code in E2, the maximum sales amount in F1 is given by

     

    =MAXIFS($B$2:$B$11,$A$2:$A$11,E2)

     

    and the corresponding sales advisor in G1 is given by

     

    =INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A$2:$A$11=E2)*($B$2:$B$11=F2),,),0))

     

    These formulas can be filled down, if required.

      As variant

      let
          Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
          #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(
              Source, {"CUSTOMER CODE"},
              {{"Count", each  Table.Sort(_,{{"SALES", Order.Descending}}){0} }}
          ),
          #"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
              #"Grouped Rows",
              "Count",
              {"SALES", "SALES ADVISOR"}, {"SALES", "SALES ADVISOR"}
          )
      in
          #"Expanded Count"

        MacTeo84 Actually, you can add data to the blue table and refresh the green one in this file on a Mac, but you can't edit the queries. You can't even look at them, which makes it quite useless.
