VLOOKUP return using =MAX 2

[Chris559]

I want the VLOOKUP to return the name in Column A of the highest value in column B. I thought that my lookup at the bottom would work - but doesn't. Any suggestions?

A&B £450.00
Tesco £322.00
Scouts £160.00
Teashop £25.00
Take Away £60.00
Flower shop £75.00


VLOOKUP((=max(C7:C12),B7:C12,1,true)

hi,

=INDEX(B7:B12,MATCH(MAX(C7:C12),C7:C12,0),1)

=LOOKUP(MAX(C7:C12),C7:C12,B7:B12)

thanks skip - works a treat

thanks to xlhelp, but yours returns Flower shop which is the lowest not the highest (A&B)

LOOKUP, it seems, works as expected when the amount column is sorted ascending.
