As I said last week, I would use a MATCH and INDEX combination, because
this will work better with unsorted data.

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=20
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=20
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 =20
11.7 =3DMAX(B5:H5)
J9 then contains =3DLOOKUP(I5,B5:H5,$B$3:$H$3)
=20
... but returns #NA here in Col F, if MIN returns Col D value (as in Row
3)!!!
A B C D
E =20
F
1 towns Airline 1 Airline 2 Airline 3 cheapest
best deal =20
2 NY =A3325 =A3330 =A3355 =3DMIN(B2:D2)
F2 then contains =3DLOOKUP(E2,B2:D2,$B$1:$D$1)
3 Berlin =A3167 =A3159 =A386
=3DMIN(B3:D3)
