Display Date If...

[Disarmonious]

Hello, what formula would I use to have cell H1 display the date in which an employee was the most productive for the month. I have a "Date" column (A1) that the user will enter the current date below per day. There are 3 other "catagorized" columns (cells B1, C1, D1) that will keep track of how many assignments have been completed per day for the month. Column E displays the total amount of assignments completed for the current date for the month. I want cell H1 to ONLY display the most productive date for the entire month.

</tbody><colgroup><col><col><col span="8"></colgroup>

Hello,

You'll have to be patient with me as I try to get this to work. Is this a VB code, where I select "Visual Basic" and then copy and paste this? I tried doing this, just in case, and nothing happened. I then copied and pasted this into the cell's formula bar, and got an error "#N/A". Since I want the date to appear in H1, I don't see where the coding that you sent "tells" cell H1 to display the date? Is there a simpler formula I could type in cell H1? Keep in mind that the user is entering a "short date" every day. For example: User types 4/16/18 for today's date, and he finished with 112 assignments, but on the day before (4/15/18), he finished with 127 assignments. I would like the date "4/15/18" to appear in H1. Again, if your suggestion works, I'm sorry for the reiteration, but I didn't get the result I was looking for...

Hmmm. It shouldn't give #N/A:

Hey, thank you for your suggestion. It's working out for me. The problem I was having is that I had merged cells for all of my columns, so I tweaked this particular sheet to single cell columns. Thanks again!
