    Array Formula to Return a Text Value

    Here is what I'm looking to do:

    2015-05-27_1437.png

    My formula in B2 is:{=MIN(IF(D2:H2<>0,D2:H2))}

    And as you can see it returns the low bid for that item.

    What I'm trying to do now is to return the name of the Bid Winner from D1:H1

    I have tried : {=MIN(IF(D2:H2=B2,$D$1:$H$1))}

    and I get a return of 0.

    Can anybody help?

    Array formula entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    to get the names

    =INDEX($D$1:$H$1,MATCH(MIN(IF(D2:H2<>0,D2:H2)),$D$2:$H$2,0))
