Default returning a text cell based on a number cell


I'm having trouble finding a way to perform a function in excel.
hopefully someone here can help me out.

I have a spreadsheet with several hundred rows of data in it. Column A
of each row is a text name, and Column B is a numerical value.

At the end of the worksheet, I'd like to display the name and numerical
value of the row with the lowest number in column B.

I can't simply sort the entire worksheet though, because I'd like it to
stay in alphabetical order.

Returning the lowest numerical value is easy. I can just take the
minimum of column B. What I'm having trouble with, is finding a way to
return the text value in column A based on that number in B.

Any ideas?

THanks in advance

Josh
