    Match - #N/A

    I need to compare the prices at store 1, store 2, etc. I used a Min function to return the lowest price and now need to find the store name that has that corresponding price. I was going to use an Index-Match but keep getting #N/A. See rows 28-34 for specifics.

    I couldn't find a solution that worked for me and am unsure as to what the issue even is, though I understand it can be a few things.

    Note: there are multiple spaces between some data due to the descriptions of the items that will be in another column. Not sure if that makes a difference, but wanted to pass along all relevant info.

    Thanks!

    See the green cells in the attached file.

    I used vlookup combined with match.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    This is great, thank you!

    Any idea why the #N/A shows up? I couldn't figure it out for my sheet.

    Re: Match - #N/A

    Your formula...
    =MATCH([@[Lowest Price]],Table1)
    translates to this...
    =MATCH(Sheet1!$I2,Sheet1!$D$2:$J$256)

    MATCH works with a single column or row range, but if you look at your "translated" formula, (bolded), you will see that you have an array
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
