I have looked up many answers to find the highest value in a column, and return the column name. However, every answer is dependent on using a continuous array and uses the INDEX function. This is not possible for me. I need to look at the values in 17 different columns, all 415 columns away from the next. It looks something like this:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
1 3 5----7 1 2----8 2 4----6 0 9
I need to compare the values in columns A, E, I and M and have it tell me that since I has a value of 8, Column I is my answer. Then I need it to compare columns B, F, J, and N, and have it tell me column B is the highest column of that group. And finally, that of columns C, G, K and O, column O is the highest.
I am doing this for 100 million cells, 17 groups, of 415 columns each for 14,300 rows.
