Default column number of the answer to MIN

=TEXT(MIN(C2:F2),"FormatString")&" "&(INDEX(C$1:F$1,1,MATCH(MIN(C2:F2),C2:F2,0)))

Replace FormatString with your format string. You can find it by formatting a cell as $ and then choose FormatCellsNumber tab,
Custom and copy the format string from the Type box.
It has to be in quotes in your formula.

That works, thanks

One other question, how do I format this
MIN(C2:F2)
into Dollars, same format as when I hit the $ button.


Let me explain this a little more, I wanted to add
MIN(C2:F2)
to this
INDEX(C$1:F$1,1,MATCH(MIN(C2:F2),C2:F2,0))
so that it looks like this
MIN(C2:F2)&" "&(INDEX(C$1:F$1,1,MATCH(MIN(C2:F2),C2:F2,0)))
but I want to format this part
MIN(C2:F2)
into Dollars and not the rest of it. Is that possible?
