Lookup lowest value in Excel

by

This tutorial shows how to Lookup lowest value in Excel using the example below;

Formula

=INDEX(range,MATCH(MIN(vals),vals,0))

Explanation

To lookup information associated with the lowest value in table, you can use a formula based on INDEX, MATCH, and MIN functions.

Worked Example:   Get column index in Excel Table

In the example shown, a formula is used to identify the name of the contractor with the lowest bid. The formula in F6 is:

=INDEX(B5:B9,MATCH(MIN(C5:C9),C5:C9,0))

How this formula works

Working from the inside out, the MIN function is used to find the lowest bid in the range C5:C9:

MIN(C5:C9) // returns 99500

The result, 99500, is fed into the MATCH function as the lookup value:

MATCH(99500,C5:C9,0) // returns 4

Match then returns the location of this value in the range, 4, which goes into INDEX as the row number along with B5:B9 as the array:

=INDEX(B5:B9, 4) // returns Cymbal

The INDEX function then returns the value at that position: Cymbal.

Worked Example:   Match first occurrence does not contain
