    Question How to compare columns to get minimum value

    I have numeric value in columns B, D, F, H.

    I want to compare the values of these four cells in each row and update columns M (with the minimum value) and N (with the column of minimum value).

    How can I manage this comparison?

    Assuming there are other values in the columns in between it can be done like this.
