Locating a specific cell
 

Hi

This is a simplified example of what I am trying to do

I want to display the result for the max and min and also the year and month.
In this case the min is 2 in Feb 2009 and the max is 9 in Mar 2010

A B C D E
1 Jan Feb Mar

2 2009 3 2 7

3 2010 5 4 9

Locating a specific cell
 

Please note that this is an array formula. You create array formulas in the
same way that you create other formulas, except you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to
enter the formula. If successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly
braces at both ends like "{=<formula}"

For MIN() try the below formulas...
=INDEX(A1:E1,MIN(IF(C2:E3=MIN(C2:E3),COLUMN(C2:E3) )))
=INDEX(B:B,MIN(IF(C2:E3=MIN(C2:E3),ROW(C2:E3))))

For MAX()
=INDEX(A1:E1,MIN(IF(C2:E3=MAX(C2:E3),COLUMN(C2:E3) )))
=INDEX(B:B,MIN(IF(C2:E3=MAX(C2:E3),ROW(C2:E3))))
