Looking up a column value versus another column value

[Guest]

Time Result
0 0
5 300
10 52000
30 100

So that when the "result" is at a max, the coressponding time is retrived.

Thanks!

Assuming your data starts in cell A1...

=OFFSET(A1, MATCH(MAX(B2:B5), B2:B5), 0)

Thanks Jim! Almost there for some reason it doesn't work my actual data set.
Any ideas?

Time Value
0 0
5 28600
15 36000
30 28500
60 24000
120 5000
180 1800
240 425
360 50

Then it does work with the small test data set you gave me? If that is the
case then confirm the the range of cells is defined correctly in the formula
and that all of the numbers in those cells are actually numbers and not text
(Try increasing the decimal places. Numbers have decimal places text does
not).

Aladin, is there a way to simplify the equation? I am not concerned about ties.

I'd think that you should be concerned. If not:

=INDEX(TimeRange,MATCH(MAX(ResultRange),ResultRange,0))

Aladin, is there a way to simplify the equation? I am not concerned about ties.

their Excel numeric equivalents.

value, defaulting to #N/A in its absence.
