Using VLOOKUP to find the lowest number in two columns

Hello.
I'm trying to search columns I and J to find the lowest number which will go in column AB5. Then search columns S and T to put the lowest number in column AC5.
Thank you.

Is this what you want??

=MIN($I$5:$J$28)

and

=MIN($S$5:$T$28)

May be
=min(index(i5:i28+j5:j28,0))
and
=min(index(s5:s28+t5:t28,0))

You never mentioned that...

AB5

=MIN(IF($B$5:$B$28=W5,$I$5:$J$28))

AC5

=MIN(IF($B$5:$B$28=X5,$S$5:$T$28))

Both are array formulae. Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

or a non-array alternative

=AGGREGATE(15,6,$I$5:$J$28/($B$5:$B$28=W5),1)

and

=AGGREGATE(15,6,$S$5:$T$28/($B$5:$B$28=X5),1)

In both cases, I have assumed that the AB relates to the H team, and AC to the A team
