Default Return Min & Cell address

Can this be done to return the MIN of F2, G2 or H2 and and "F", "G" or "H" which ever is the MIN?

Where F2=1, G2=2, F2=3.

This returns 1 FALSE.

=MIN(F2:H2)&" "&IF(ADDRESS(2,6)=MIN(F2:H2),"F",IF(ADDRESS(2,7)=M IN(F2:H2),"G",IF(ADDRESS(2,8)=MIN(F2:H2),"H")))

Thanks.
Howard

try:
=MIN(F2:G2)&" in "&ADDRESS(2,MATCH(MIN(F2:G2),A2:G2,0),4)

always glad to help.

If the minimum can also occur in A2:E2 you will get a wrong cell
address.
In this case you better do the MATCH into the range for minimum:
=MIN(F2:H2)&" in "&ADDRESS(ROW(F2),MATCH(MIN(F2:H2),F2:H2,0)+COLUMN (F2)-1,4)

The formula is more versatile. You also can copy down the formula.

I can't make that error occur with the first formula.

With 1 to 8 in A - H both seem to work fine, each returns "6 in F2".

I'll go with the latter on your advice anyway.

Thanks again.
