Returning contents of a cell based upon the minimum value in a ran
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. |

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.
