Macro to find the lowest value and cut/insert to a different cell

Hello to the VBA pros here,

Is it possible for VBA macro to do this?
I wish to highlight a section of cells and have it automatically select the lowest value out of each row, cut that cell and 1 cell to it's right and have it be inserted to the Z column.

It's basically a bunch of prices and vendor names listed to the right of the price and i want to take the lowest price and have it be cut and inserted (has to be the insert function instead of paste) to the Z column, just by highlighting the cells i want the macro to affect.

Example of my worksheet. I high-lite this entire thing and hit the macro.

|12.00|vendor A|22.00|vendor B|15.00|vendor C
| 5.00|vendor A| 7.00|vendor B| 8.00|vendor C
|45.00|Vendor A|45.00|Vendor B|40.00|Vendor C <------ (I have no idea how the macro will affect prices that are the same, maybe have it ignore same prices and i will pick manually)

Seems like quite a complicated macro. Appreciate it if any experts here can figure it out.

Cause ultimately i want to actually move all the lowest value to one column for easy reference and to do calculations with formulas.

1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. (If trere are typical cases like: all unique values/duplicates could occur, day/night, nobody present/several persons at once, before/on/past due, etc. - please show them all or at least indicate in text) The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution(s) is/are also shown (mock up the results manually). (also try showing the final (ultimate) step)

3. Make sure that all confidential/restricted information (either personal or business) like real e-mails, social security numbers, bank accounts, etc. is removed first!!

To attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down and press Go Advanced button and then scroll down and press Manage Attachments link. Now follow the instructions at the top of that pop-up screen.

I have edited my post to explain exactly what i want to achieve and attached a sample file.

This seems to work.

May require some fine tuning and error handling as per your requirements.

Mote that moving cells can make your formula referring to column I invalid. To make it independant on moving cells you could either use MIN (you anyway look for lovest value) or INDIRECT function inside your CEILING
