I am tracking work order production so I have dates in column A and values in column B. I am trying to search for the minimum value in column B and return the date directly to the left of that minimum value. I searched and tried INDEX MATCH and OFFSET but they are not working.

Any ideas?

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

can you post some sample data using the xl2bb add in? Also, are there duplicates in your list of values you are scanning through?

When you have multiple instances of the same min, which date do you want to return?

So far, there have not been duplicates, in which case the most recent date will be the one I want.
