    Displaying the Lowest Text Classification

    Hey Team,

    I have a worksheet with different classifications on performance. For instance, one area may be "Fail", "Needs Improvement", Achieves", or "Excels".
    I want a cell to show the lowest classification. Its too easy to show if there is a failure, I can use an OR function to show if there is a failure. IF there is only Excels, then I can use the AND function.

    But suppose there are Two Excels, an Achieves, and one Needs Improvement, how can I get Excel to show the Needs Improvement?

    Thanks Team

    Respectfully

    -Phil

    This is a worksheet I created to go with my question. Im not using the actual one to protect personal information, but the concept is the same.
    Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

    Thanks.

    Re: Displaying the Lowest Text Classification

    Will there be the empty rows in the real data? It's easy if not.

    Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    1
    Category
    Standard Achieved
    2
    Character
    Excels
    Ranking of Standards
    3
    Presence
    Excels
    Excels
    4
    4
    Intellect
    Achieves
    Achieves
    3
    5
    Leads
    Excels
    Needs Improvement

    6
    Develops
    Needs Improvement
    Fail

    7
    Production
    Achieves
    8
    9
    Overall Standard Achieved
    10
    Needs Improvement
    11
    Sheet: Sheet1

    Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
    B
    10
    =INDEX($D$3:$D$6,MATCH(MIN(INDEX($E$3:$E$6,N(IF(1,MATCH(B$2:B$7,$D$3:$D$6,0))))),$E$3:$E$6,0))
    Sheet: Sheet1

    ... confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    Please try
    =INDEX($D$3:$D$6,AGGREGATE(14,6,MATCH(B2:B12,$D$3:$D$6,),1))
