Default Finding the Best Price


I am creating a spreadsheet that will show me what suppliers give me the
best price. There are three companies that supply me and i want to be
able to type in each of their prices and the spreadsheet gives me back
the cheapest price. At the moment i have been trying different if
statements but can't get it to work.

Can you give us a bit more information as to what you have in your
spreadsheet? It's difficult to answer appropriately without knowing what
you have set up already.

Assuming that all the quoted prices are in, for example, Cells B1:B3,
the lowest price can be determined with this formula

=MIN(B1:B3)

You can modify this formula to suit your needs.
