Returning contents of a cell based upon the minimum value in a
VLOOKUP() looks down a Column then to the*RIGHT* along that Row, HLOOKUP()
looks along a Row then *DOWN* that Column. To look left or up you are
better to use a combination of INDEX() and MATCH() but when using MATCH() is
the match range is in assending order unless you make the third argument
FALSE.

Sweet. Works perfectly. I always get confused with the ton of options I
have
with Excel and when to use which... OFFSET, INDIRECT, MATCH, various
LOOKUPS... Thanks so much for the help.

If I have:
Apple Lemon Orange
3 0 1
How do I get Excel to look through the row of data, find the minimum
(or
specifically, I am looking for the one and only Zero that would be in
the
data), and return the cell above it? In this case, the returned value I
am
looking for would be Lemon.
Tried =offset(min(range),-1) but I am guessing Excel won't let me use a
formula for the Reference part of Offset.
