Hi
ive created a very simple table with four names in the top row in seperate columns, B,C,D, and E.. under each name is a golf score, eg: 82,87,79, 92. Column A has the date for each round. I'd like a formula in column F rows extending down to show the name of the winner of each weeks score ie: the lowest score showing the persons name! Who won that weeks game. Thank you.

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
What if there's a tie?

Also, please update your account details to indicate which version of Excel you are using as it will affect what solutions are available to you.

Hmm, well it should reflect two names in the column right? The two with the lowest score!, hopefully 😀
Thanks Rory

OK, assuming header in row 1:

Excel Formula:
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,IF(B2:E2=MIN(B2:E2),$B$1:$E$1,""))

Just tried it Rory, I had to change the row numbers as the headers were in row 2 , but it works beautifully.
Thank you so much 🙏

Just one question Rory, when I dragged down to fill the formula in the rows below, it filled in all four names, is there a way to keep those rows empty till the scores are added?
sorry to be a pain.

You could use something like:

Excel Formula:
=IF(B3>0,TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,IF(B3:E3=MIN(B3:E3),$B$2:$E$2,"")),"")

so it will only populate once a number has been entered into column B
