Find lowest price along with that vendor's name

Hello,

 

On one tab, "BOM BRKDN", I have a materials list with several unique part numbers.  On a second tab, "PRICING", is a list of all vendor quotes for all part numbers. 

 

I have a "Best Price" column (that seems to work fine) using the formula "=MIN(IF(E2=PRICING!$C$2:$C$10000,PRICING!$A$2:$A$10000))"

(fyi; column E is unique part numbers on "BOM BRKDN" tab; column C is part number on "PRICING" TAB, column A is the price quoted on "PRICING" tab.

 

I am trying to find a formula that will reference the best price and the part number to then find and auto-fill the associated vendor name (listed under column B on the "PRICING" tab).

 

I've tried a variety of lookup formulas without success.  Can someone please help?!?!

 

Thank you  

  • Corey,

     

    replace your data in sheet "BOM BRKDN" with a pivot table based on sheet "PRICING".

    "part number" and "vendor" in row area and "price" in values area. Change the aggregation to "Min".
