Hi, I need a bit of help to find the last column header in of the maximum value in row of cells when the max is duplicated.
Max tbtb00tb01tb02tb03
=INDEX($b$1:$e$1,0,MATCH(MAX($b2:$e2),$b2:$e2,0))120130120120
130130
125100100125

The index match function gives me the first column header of the first max value, but I want the column header of the last occurrence of the max value. So, in the above example, I want a formula that will give me tb01 for a2, tb01 for a3 and tb03 for a4.

Any ideas on how to do that. I have an older version of excel and maxifs functions don't work.

Thanks
