Comparing two excel sheets and finding max value AND copying neighbor cell -
i have 2 sheets, similar formatting different values.
here's example (real spreadsheet of course has more values)
sheet 1
temp | year 89 | 1979
sheet 2
temp | year 77 | 1998
i want compare temp values , put highest value in 3rd sheet, , copy neighboring year value neighboring cell in 3rd sheet. have result in 3rd sheet using formula: =max(sheet1!b4,sheet2!b4) is:
89
but i'd (by referencing value in next column , placing in next column on 3rd sheet):
89 | 1979
does have idea how this?
thanks time,

i suggest like:
=iif(sheet1!b4 = max(sheet1!b4, sheet2!b4), sheet1!c4, sheet2!c4)
but have issue if max value same both. of course can account if possibility , problem.
actually, not efficient way of doing this. better:
=iif(sheet1!b4 > sheet2!b4, sheet1!c4, sheet2!c4)
and heck, if need have both c column values when b columns equal, this:
=iif(sheet1!b4 > sheet2!b4, sheet1!c4, iif(sheet1!b4 = sheet2!b4, sheet1!c4 & ", "& sheet2!c4, sheet2!c4))
