    A1:A100
    // list of names

    B1:B100
    // numbers per name

    C1 = MAX(B1:B100)
    // the biggest number in the number array

    D1 = Index(A1:A100, Match(C1, B1:B100, 0) )
    // Name of FIRST person in list with max number (if two people have equally big numbers the second will not be listed)
