Help with lookup function

[Guest]

I have two worksheets in the same workbook. Sheet one includes data similar to:

Person Average
Colin 72.15
Scott 66.21
John 58.95


In Sheet two I have a function that lets me know what the maximum average
is. My question is, I also want to know what person has the maximum average.
Example:

Max. Average = 72.15
Person = ????

This is just a short example I have 200 people on my list.

Thanks,
Scott

Assume your names are in column A and your average numbers are in column B:

=INDEX(A1:A300,MATCH(MAX(B1:B300),B1:B300,0))

Assuming your listing is in cells A2:A201

=INDEX('Sheet1'!A2:A201,MATCH(MAX('Sheet1'!B2:B201),'Sheet1'!B2:B201))

That will find the FIRST occurrence of the maximum average.
