Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Like this perhaps

what if I have month on A1:G1 and values under B1:G1 so basically check out the numbers among B1:G1 and when lowest or highest, write the month but not the number.

That sounds like this might work (assumes month names in A1:G1 and values in A2:G2 - I am afraid I was finding it hard to discern the layout of your data)

=INDEX($A$1:$G$1,MATCH(MAX($A$2:$G$2),$A$2:$G$2,0))

Replace Max with Min for the other.
