HTC,

I was rather hoping that Gary's Student was going to jump in with a solution
:-)

Try:

=IF(COUNT(B2:D2)<3,"",IF(COUNTIF(B2:D2,MIN(B2:D2) )1,"Tied Hole
("&COUNTIF(B2:D2,MIN(B2:D2))&")",INDEX($B$1:$D$1,M ATCH(MIN(B2:D2),B2:D2))))

This shows a blank until data is entered, (change the range and <3 to the
number of players),
"Tied Hole" with the number of player tying in brackets.
or the name of the winner as before.

Note: there is a space between "Tied Hole and ("&

Sandy - Thanks that worked....however, as was brought up-- what happens if
on
Hole #1, all scores were 5 and I wanted to show a blank cell ("") if there
is
no clear cut low score. I only want to show a golfer's name if he won the
hole. Any ideas how to build that into your suggested formula below?

In the chart below, John, Joe, and Bob have golf scores listed for the
first
2 holes. Column E is the Min Value which is a formula that pulls the
low
value/score for each hole. In column E, I would to insert a formula to
pull
the golfer's name (John, Joe, Bob) depending on who has the low
score/min
value. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hole# John Joe Bob MIN VALUE GOLFER w/ low Score
#1 5 4 5 4

#2 3 2 5 2
