    Select cell based on another's result

    Hi,

    I would like to select cell based on the result of other cells in a different row. I have 3 rows and 12 coulombs. Row1 is the number of hours, Row2 is the energy used, Row3 is the result of Row1 divided by Row2 which is a ratio. The 12 coulombs are number 1 to 12 and are the months in the year. I need to be able to find the lowest ratio result in Row3 and then based on that result select the corresponding cell in the same coulomb but in Row1.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks Bernard

    Re: Excel Help selecting cell based on anothers result

    Try

    =Index(A1:L1,MATCH(MIN(A3:L3),A3:L3,0))

    where A1:L1 contain the row 1 times and A3:L3 contain the ratios.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
