Hi,

My sheet records data on a monthly basis. I use MAX to find the highest
number (which can be in any of the four weeks of the month). I then need
to SUM numbers in the row below.

For example cells A1:A4 contain the following: 20;31;70;64
Cells B1:B4contain the following: 2;4;1;6

The MAX function will select 70 I then need to to SUM the 2;4;1

I hope that this makes sense - can you help please?

Many thanks

Tony

Assuming you always sum from row 1 to the row having the maximum value:

=SUM(OFFSET($B$1,0,0,MATCH(MAX($A$1:$A$4),$A$1:$A$ 4,0),1))


If this is not the rule, then come back with a (clearer) explanation.
