    Unhappy Index + Match not working :(

    Hello I have what I think is a simple problem but I cannot figure out how to solve it.

    My spreadsheet is arranged this way:

    B5 C5 D5
    Student Name Test 1 Test 2
    Random Test Name Random Test Name

    B6 C6 D6
    Student 1 68.00 98.00

    B7 C7 D7
    Student 2 80.00 100

    This information is on a sheet named Math.

    On another sheet I am trying to display the data in the following way:

    A1 B1 C1 D1
    Name Subject Lowest Score Assignment Name

    A2 B2 C2 D2
    Student 1 Subject Name 44.00 xxxx

    I am trying to have the assignment name filled in based on the lowest score for a given student.

    The subject name is being pulled from C2 on the Math sheet.

    The lowest score has the formula =MIN(Math!C6:D6)

    The formula in D2 that I am trying to use to pull an assignment name from the lowest score is =INDEX(Math!C6:D6,MATCH(C2,Math!C5:D6,0))

    In reality I have 43 student names in the student column and 30 or sometimes more assignments across. I need to apply the formula to work on many sheets.

    Anyway I have tried several different variations of different formulas and I cannot seem to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try

    =INDEX(Math!C$5:D$5,MATCH(C2,Math!C6:D6,0))

    Thank you! This works on the sample I provided but not the original. I get an NA error.

    Here is a portion of the original.

    Is this it?

    =INDEX(Math!$C$5:$AF$5,MATCH(Sheet2!E2,Math!C6:AF6,0))

    Yes thank you so much! It was not working because I had slightly different cells in the actual one I am using and I did not have any data entered yet -.-. I have a neurological problem that effects my concentration but I still can't believe I missed the proper references. Thank you again!
