Index/Match Solution?

WeatherGuy

Looking at other posts, I keeping thinking I'm coming close to
solution but can't seem to figure it out.

I have a range of values, say: A2:J2
and
I have corresponding text labels for these values: A1:J1

I want to identify the smallest value ( MIN(A2:J2) ) and populat
another cell (say A4) with the corresponding text label that identifie
the smallest value (i.e. if MIN(A2:J2) is the value in cell E2, then
want cell A4 to contain the text value of E1)

I’m sure I’ve circled around the solution a few times, any help will b
appreciated.

Thanks,

One way, assuming no ties* in the min. values within A2:J2

Placed in A4:
=INDEX(A1:J1,MATCH(MIN(A2:J2),A2:J2,0))

will retrieve the label within A1:J1 corresponding
to the min. value within A2:J2

*If there are any ties, only the leftmost label will be retrieved
