    Wink Simple Excel question

    I have 3 columns and 2 rows

    10 23 05
    A B C


    The 4th Column should print the min of (10, 23, 05) and the cell below should print the corresponding alphabet.

    The the above example, the 4th column should have

    05
    C

    Please can someone help me with this??


    NOTE - to find min of 10, 23, 05, i'd put in =MIN(A1:C1)

    One small point, why is the number 5 preceded by a 0. is this some special formatting?

    The two formulae are:

    This should do the trick for you.

    D1 = "=MIN(A1:C1)"
    D2 = "=HLOOKUP(D1,A1:C2,2,FALSE)"

    Hope that helps.
