Question : Microsoft Excel 2007: How to find the largest value in one column then displaying a label from the other corresponding column??

What i need to do is create a function that displays the name of the person who has the highest value.
Here's an example
          A          B        C         D          E
1     Name     Jan     Feb     Mar     Total
2      Joe         2         6         1          9
3     Anne       1         7         3         11
4      Mila         8         5         6         19
5     Cole         3         4         1          8
6
7
8 Highest Sales Person               (           )

So i basically need to find the highest value between E2:E5 (19) and then have the corresponding name (Mila) appear in cell E8. The function has to all fit into cell E8.

i hope this makes sense.
