Formula to return column header

[btadams]

I have a table of data and need a formula to find the minimum in that row and return the text that appears in that column's header. For example say the min occurs in the 3rd column of a named range, I want the text that appears in the first cell of that 3rd column. Thanks,

To do this just place $ in the header reference cells. Such as =INDEX($B$1:$E$1,MATCH(MIN(B2:E2),B2:E2,0))

Thanks for this formula. Very helpful and simpler than my attempt. I knew Index would be useful here but couldn't visualize the formula. I've used a MAX rather than MIN but logic is identical.

Paddy's remark does still hold... Consider:

G2, just enter and copy down:

=MIN(B2:F2)

H2, control+shift+enter -not just enter-, copy down, and across:

=IF(COLUMNS($H2:H2)<=COUNTIF($B2:$F2,$G2),INDEX($B$1:$F$1,
   SMALL(IF($B2:$F2=$G2,COLUMN($B$1:$F$1)-COLUMN($B$1)+1),
     COLUMNS($H2:H2))),"")

You are welcome. Thanks for providing feedback.

I've got a similar problem but without the MIN function.

I have a very large spreadsheet with numerous columns; I need a formula to return the column heading after finding a given value. The problem is I have multiple columns and they are NOT consecutive.

This is what I compiled so far. I know it's wrong but can't figure out the correct version....

=INDEX(AS1:ER1:DV1:ET1:DZ1:EC1:EF1,MATCH(DG57, AS57:ER57:DV57:ET57:DZ57:EC57:EF57))

"AS1:ER1:DV1:ET1:DZ1:EC1:EF1" are the headings of the columns I want the function to spit out. There's no particular order.

"DG57" is a date I want the MATCH function to search for (It refers to a date from another formula)

"AS57:ER57:DV57:ET57:DZ57:EC57:EF57" are the cells I want the MATCH function to search; again, no particular order.

Is it even possible to seach this specifically or can excel only search in ranges of columns/rows.

Thanks!

Do you mean:

AS1, ER1, DV1, ET1, DZ1, EC1, EF1

that is, 7 non-contiguous cells?

 

[chimdawg]

Do you mean:

AS1, ER1, DV1, ET1, DZ1, EC1, EF1

....yes....yes I do....

I tried that as a change, using the appriopriate brackets:

=INDEX((AS1, ER1, DV1, ET1, DZ1, EC1, EF1),MATCH(DG2, (AS2, ER2, DV2, ET2, DZ2, EC2, EF2))

And still come up with an error. For the life of me I can't figure out where though....

Try...

=INDEX(CHOOSE({1,2,3,4,5,6,7},AS1, ER1, DV1, ET1, DZ1, EC1, EF1),
  MATCH(DG2,CHOOSE({1,2,3,4,5,6,7},AS2, ER2, DV2, ET2, DZ2, EC2, EF2),0))

Hi guys, looks like you rock in excel, so I will take the opportunity to ask you a question as well.
My sheet consist from rows, where there's product and columns where there are dates.
I would like to return each column header (Q1:EF1) where in row for that product will be 0. The zero can be there multipletimes.
Thanks a lot for your advice

Y2, just enter and copy down:

=COUNTIF(Q2:X2,0)

Z2, control+shift+enter, not just enter, copy across, and down:

=IF(COLUMNS($Z2:Z2)<=$Y2,INDEX($Q$1:$X$1,SMALL(IF($Q2:$X2=0,
 COLUMN($Q2:$X2)-COLUMN($Q2)+1),COLUMNS($Z2:Z2))),"")

Hello All- This information has been very useful, I have one small problem. The data I am looking for is contained on a seperate tab named "formulas".

The formula

=INDEX(H1:M1,MATCH(MAX(B2:E2),B2:E2,0))

Works perfectly when all the data is contained on the same page, but I would like to move the data to another tab, so my cover page only contains necessary info.

Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated!
