    find set value in column d then get value in column a, INDEX or LOOKUP?

    hi i need to find the value in D2 in D5:D87 then pull the value that is in column A. so for the attached, i need a formula D1 that would retrieve the value in A87.

    i would then need to copy D1 across so that each column's lowest value has the column a coordinate. i tried to figure out how to use MATCH, INDEX, and LOOKUP, but haven't used those functions before and am having trouble.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Put this in D1:

    then you will be able to copy it across when you have data in E2 onwards.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi lexi,

    Use this in D1... =INDEX($A$5:$A$87,MATCH(D2,D$5:D$87,0),0)

    You can copy this going across... let me know if this does not work...

    Dennis,

    I used a longer range as the MIN function in D2 also used that range (I figured the OP had just removed some data for posting).
