Offset Formula
Dear Experts
I am looking for a formula that would find the lowest 2 numbers in column F and match the corresponding data in column A and have the result displayed in cell J5 & J6. Any help greatly appreciated. |

Offset Formula
Hi Hans,
'Would not care to do this in VBA (programming), but as Worksheet Functions it is fairly straight forward. Well at least easier than trying to program it. Lowest =SMALL(F:F,1) next lowest =SMALL(F:F,2) to find the row number =MATCH(SMALL(F:F,1),F:F,0) to use the row number to identify the corresponding value in Column A to the entry found in Column F. J5: =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(SMALL(F:F,1),F:F,0)) J6: =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(SMALL(F:F,2),F:F,0)) You cannot use VLOOKUP because the argument value you look up is in a later column (F) than the value you seek (A), so you have to use INDEX and MATCH instead.
