Can anybody help me identify a formula that can find the lowest value from a set of data:

If I have a product in Column A and 3 suppliers in columns C, D and E with their prices in the cells below - is there a formula I can add to column B to find the lowest value from columns C/D/E and pull that value into column B and therefore identify the cheapest rate/supplier for a given product?

Thanks for your help?

You need to Ctrl Shift and Enter with tragically1969's formula as it's an array formula
