Shucks! Well actually, *&%^@#^....
My reference to J9 should read J5, of course!

Hi again, Ray
Thanks for the nth Occurrence pointer to ozgrid.com.
All stemmed from a message of mine a while ago. I appreciate that you say you
avoid
LOOKUP but wonder if you saw/have any ideas on the actual query (now tidied up I
hope!) below:
My students are doing basic work on Functions and two came up with a similar SS
formula.
LOOKUP (J5, Filled Down 5:27) returns different cols here (unsorted B:H values):
A B C D E F
G H I
3 Year USA Canada Japan France Germany Italy UK
5 1984 7.5 10.9 2.8 10.0 7.1 5.9
11.7 =MAX(B5:H5)
J9 then contains =LOOKUP(I5,B5:H5,$B$3:$H$3)
... but returns #NA here in Col F, if MIN returns Col D value (as in Row 3)!!!
A B C D E
F
1 towns Airline 1 Airline 2 Airline 3 cheapest
best deal
2 NY £325 £330 £355 =MIN(B2:D2)
F2 then contains =LOOKUP(E2,B2:D2,$B$1:$D$1)
3 Berlin £167 £159 £86 =MIN(B3:D3)
