I'd like for Excel to return the colomn "name" based on the lowest value in
the sequence.  For example-
Columns are A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Column names are in row 1
Rows 2-415 will have a series of numbers
Column H will contain the results for each individual row

I know I can use =SMALL(A3:G3,1) to get me the lowest value.  The problem I
am having is how do I them translate that into the name of the column.

Thanks

=INDEX(A1:G1,1,MATCH(MIN(A3:G3),A3:G3,0))
