Default using dmax

I want to find the max temperature for each day of the year over 10 years
worth of data. I can do it by using a criteria where the first in the range
of the criteria is the label ("Date" in this case) and under that cell is the
date I want to look up (eg "Jan,3"). But it seems like I need to have 2
cells per day of the year in order to specify each day. That is, it looks
like I have to do it this way:

A B
1 Date
2 ="Jan,1" =dmax(H100:I465,2,A1:A2)
3 Date
4 ="Jan,2" =dmax(H100:I465,2,A3:A3)
5 Date
6 ="Jan,3" =dmax(H100:I465,2,A5:A6)

etc

Isn't there an easier way?

Thanks
