Excel - IF Function Problem - Expert Solution

Question description:
This user has given permission to use the problem statement for this blog.

I want a formula (or combination of formulas) to look up the matching values(full name) within one column and based on those matching look in 2nd and 3rd column (email in and email out in last 6mo) and indicate which one is the most/highest. If there is a tie, then look in 4th and 5th column (email in and out in last year). It could be indicated by a yes or number to say that that name.
