Google Sheets: how to find max value in column B, corresponding values in column A, and max among these
$begingroup$
I have two numeric columns, A and B. I want to find the max value in column B, which will return multiple rows. Then I want to find the max value in column A from among these rows.
A B
5 315
7 315
10 275
The function should return:
7 315
It would be fine if this were a combination of two functions - one that finds the max value in B (315), and another that finds the corresponding max value in A (7). That's how I'm trying it right now using:
=index(A2:B10,match(max(B2:B10),B2:B10,0))
But this solution only finds the latest row that has column B's max value:
5 315
Someone suggested I use the query function, but I couldn't get that to work either.

Suppose you have data in the columns A, B from row 2 to 4. Put MAX(B2:B4) somewhere (in this example, I put it in B6). Then for the corresponding max in A you can use the formula MAX(ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B2:B4 = $B$6,A2:A4))).
