    Offset and Min functions

    I'm in need of some assistance on a function. I have attached a copy of the spreadsheet that I'm working on. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a user enter a value in cell B5, then have a formula in a separate cell (B13) return the minimum value in the column, where the header of that column closely matches the value of what the user entered in B5.

    For example, if the user enters the value of 3.2 in cell B5, it should return the value of 18.50 since that is the lowest value in that column.

    I've tried an OFFSET and Match function but am having issues. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!

    Re: Need help on Offset and Min functions

    INDEX is often better than OFFSET as it's not volatile. Try this formula

    =MIN(INDEX(BOXDATA,0,MATCH(B5,G3:AZ3)))
    Audere est facere
