Following up on a previous query..........I am able to look along a row of
values and return the name of the cheapest supplier thanks muchly toJohn
Topely and Bob Philips.

To obtain the name of the supplier I tried
=INDEX($B$1:$E$1,1,MATCH(MIN(IF($B2:$E20,$B2:$E2) ),$B2:$E2,0))

as suggested and it works well.

Extending on that idea, how would I go about returning the name of the
supplier that had the next cheapest rate and the third cheapest given that I
have 24 suppliers. For the purpose of illustration, I have only shown 3 in
my example.

Site Supplier A Supplier B Supplier C
Bilo1 175000 150000 125000
Bilo2 125000 50000 60000
Bilo3 50000 60000 70000

Any help appreciated


Cheers

Mark
