=MIN(A1:C1)

Hey thanks! Can I also change the color of the result in the d column and the column it came from?

Do you mean, if C1 is the Min, change C1 and D1 ?

If so, select A1:D1. Go to format conditional formatting.

Select "Formula Is" and use this formula:

=A1=$D1

Click the format putton and select the patterns tab, then select the color you want.

Click Ok, and Ok again.
