how to search multiple col/row table wit multiple criteria to return lowest value

Mitchellt,

Welcome to the forum!
Your post is rather vague, but sounds doable. My first reaction is to use an array-entered (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) Index/Min/If formula. Hard to give you any specifics though. If that suggestion is enough to get you started, then awesome! However, if you would like additional help, then:

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

Mitchellt,

Attached is a modified version of your example workbook. First, I had to convert all of the numbers to be actual numbers instead of numbers stored as text. Then, in cell G3 and copied down is this array formula. Note that array formulas must be entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and not just Enter. That's how the formula gets the curly braces {} around it, so don't try to type those in manually:

Then in cell D3 and copied down is this regular formula:
