Excel

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet with costs for different stationery types (paper etc.) from different stationery firms I want to show in the last column the name of the company which has the cheapest number for each item

For example if Staples paper was cheaper than another 3 stationers I would want the name "Staples" to show in the last cell.

I hope that makes sense

Thanks
Sarah

RE: Excel

Hi Sarah, thanks for your query. You need to use the Match, Index and Max (or Min) functions to achieve this. Bit complicated to explain here, but here's a handy link:

Hope this helps,
