I have a table as such with rows and columns in bold. I know the max value within this table is 9. How can I get Excel to return "3" and "4"?

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Code:
Sub FindMax()
    Dim Rng As Range, Val As Long, Loc As Range
    Set Rng = Range("A1:E7")
    Val = WorksheetFunction.Max(Rng)
    Set Loc = Rng.Find(what:=Val, LookIn:=xlValues)
    MsgBox "Maximum value found at row " & Loc.Row & ", column " & Loc.Column
End Sub

With newer excel versions, perhaps this with wrapped text (array confirmed with Ctrl Shift Enter)

=TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),1,IF($B$2:$F$5=MAX($B$2:$F$5),$A$2:$A$5&"&"&$B$1:$F$1,""))

Code:
[SIZE=1]// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Unpivot = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"0"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Unpivot,{{"0", Int64.Type}, {"Attribute", Int64.Type}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}),
    Filter = Table.SelectRows(Type, each ([Value] = List.Max(Type[Value]))),
    Rename = Table.RenameColumns(Filter,{{"0", "Label"}, {"Attribute", "Header"}})
in
    Rename[/SIZE]
