In the example shown, a formula is used to identify the name of the contractor with the lowest bid. The formula in F6 is: The result, 99500, is fed into the MATCH function as the lookup value: Match then returns the location of this value in the range, 4, which goes into INDEX as the row number along with B5:B9 as the array: The INDEX function then returns the value at that position: Cymbal.
