EXEL HOW TO FIND MAXSolved/Closed

Question

Hello, On exel i know its possible to get the computer to find the MAX value from a set of numbers, but in my case i want it to find the max value but instead of showing the figure in the cell, but to show the corresponding column heading like 'Cakes' for example.

PLEASE HELP THIS IS FOR COURSEWORK.

Say i have to following data:
                   
                                   Ages
                     16-20     21-30    30-40
                   
Walking            23         12          21
Running            32         23          25
Cycling             43         26          28
Swimming        43         21          22


And i use the formula =MAX() of the numbers for walking, obviously the biggest number is 23, but i dont want this in the cell i want 'Walking'.


Thank-you
