How do I select the date from a column that corresponds to the maximum value in another?

I have a workbook (Microsoft Excel for Mac, Version 16.16.27). In one column (B) I have dates which increase as the rows go down. In the next column (C) I have values.

In a row under both columns I show the maximum value from column C:

=MAX(C2:C13)

How do I select the date from column B that corresponds to the maximum value?

I've tried:

=MATCH(MAX(C2:C13,B:B,0)

It's not right.

Solution

  • You need INDEX()/MATCH() combination. Try-

    =INDEX(B:B,MATCH(MAX(C:C),C:C,0))
