One way:

E2 =INDEX($B$1:$D$1,MATCH(MIN(B2:D2),B2:D2,FALSE))

Hi
Do you really need an "IF"
In Col E of each line you could put =MIN(B3:D3) to get the lowest for each
item.
Alternatively, Sum each column to get a project total and then at Col E of
the total line use the MIN formula to get the cheapest total
