Hello Debbie,
There are a couple of ways you could do this. One is to use max to find the maximum of each column, and then max on that to find which column:
maxOfCols = max(A);
[~, colIdxOfMax] = max(maxOfCols);
Another would be to just find the linear index of the maximum, then translate out the column index from that:
[~, linIdxOfMax] = max(A(:));
[~, colIdxOfMax] = ind2sub(size(A), linIdxOfMax);
-Cam

data = xlsread('yourfile.xls');
maxVal = max(data);
[mmaxVal col_no] = max(maxVal)
