    Smile Identifying the lowest number in a row.

    I'm trying to form a formula to write in a the row with the lowest number. The formula would appear in column 2 (the "Lowest" column)

    E.g
    A B
    2
    1 "Lowest"
    3


    If the lowest number appears more than once in the list, the formula should return "Lowest" once, but doesn't matter which row it appears in.

    Thanks

    Perhaps:

    B1:
    =REPT("Lowest",ROW(A1)=MATCH(MIN(A:A),A:A,0))

    Re: Identifying the lowest number in a row.

    Try this in B2
    =IF(ROW()=MATCH(MIN(A:A),A:A,0),"Lowest","")
    Drag/Fill Down

    This should return the first minimum value found
