Assuming data is in row1,
in the structure: number, text, number, text, ...
and there are no ties in the min value
Eg in A1 across are: 1, Text1, 2, Text2, 0.9, Text3, ...
(corresponding text to the right of the number)
Put in say, A3: =INDEX(1:1,MATCH(MIN(1:1),1:1,0)+1)
A3 will return the text coupled with the min value
For the sample data, A3 will return: Text3
If there are ties in the min value,
A3 will return the text next to the first* min value
*first from the left
