Display the corresponding name of the highest score with formulas
To retrieve the name of the person who scored the highest, the following formulas can help you to get the output.
Please enter this formula: =INDEX(A2:A14,MATCH(MAX(B2:B14),B2:B14,FALSE),)&" Scored "&MAX(B2:B14) into a blank cell where you want to display the name, and then press Enter key to return the result as follows:
Notes:
1. In the above formula, A2:A14 is the name list which you want to get the name from, and B2:B14 is the score list.
2. The above formula only can get the first name if there are more than one names having the same highest scores, to get all the names who got the highest score, the following array formula may do you a favor.
Enter this formula:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$14,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$14=MAX($B$2:$B$14),ROW($B$2:$B$14)-1),ROW(B2)-1)), and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys together to display the first name, then select the formula cell and drag the fill handle down until error value appears, all names who got the highest score are displayed as below screenshot:
