Hoping someone can fix this one!

A1 is the INDEX/MATCH - which should show the name of the person in column A which has the lowest score in column B - in this case Jack with 1

However, there are a lot of missing names in column A - so I used a MINIFS to filter out the blank cells...

Unfortunately it looks up the first instance of 1 in B2 which results in the blank cell in A2....

Is there a better way to do this?

Basically I need to find the MIN of column B which also has text in column A - and then show the text right next to the MIN in column A

Appreciate any help!
 
would you recommend the upgrade Fluff?
I would never willing go back to 2013, which I had before, but it's horses for courses & really depends on what you want.

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
