Relating 2 columns in excel so that finding the maximum of the first, gives you the other?

Here's the image: http://s4.postimg.org/44lx41jy5/halp.png

Help. So basically, I have a few values. They're numbered(1 to 6). After finding the maximum value, in the C column, could I somehow point out that it's number 4 in the A column? 32 is my biggest value, and I want to say that it's the 4(as in the 4th value) as tabulated in column A. Is there a function that will allow me to do that without hardcoding? This is for something much bigger. The original 100s of numbers going down vertically, thank you.

Hi matriculator

Try the following INDEX & MATCH:
=INDEX(A1:A6,MATCH(MAX(C1:C6),C1:C6,0))

Or may be, if the numbers are not in column A

=INDEX(ROW(A:A),MATCH(MAX(C:C),C:C,0))

Hi and welcome to the forum

We would love to help you with your question, but 1st, please rename your thread to something more meaningful, that actually describes your problem.

Because thread titles are used in searching the forum it is vital they be written to accurately describe your thread content or overall objective using ONLY search friendly key words. That is, your title used as search terms would return relevant results.

Many members will look at a thread title, and if it is of interest to them, or it falls within their area of expertise, they might only open those threads.

Look at it this way...if you typed that title into google, what would you expect to get back?
