    Welcome to the forum! Try this:

    =INDEX(A2:$A$102,MATCH(MAX($O$2:$O$102),$O$2:$O$102,0))

    Sorry for the delay...
    If I wanted to display all of the results that have an equal total number?

    Try

    P2
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.


    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    Drag down!!

    Re: need to get the Highest number from a count and that Name (A) displayed in a new cell

    I interpreted a little differently.

    Similar to shukla.ankur281190 array entered in P2.
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Then similarly for the scores array enter in Q2.
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    These will group all same scores with names in descending score order.

    Yes. I just put it in P2 for asthetics ... to line up with the source table.

    Edit Just remember to change the ROWS($2:2) to ROWS($1:1)

    Hi Dave,
    I am sorry, I cannot get that to work at all...
    Is there something I am missing?

    The formulas need to be array entered.

    If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.
