Find MINIMUM in multiple-column range, return value from Column A

I am working on a spreadsheet for my fantasy football draft. Screenshot below.

I’m looking to put a formula into AA25 that finds the MINIMUM VALUE of W1:AH17 and then returns the corresponding value in Column A in the same row.

For example, in the screenshot, the minimum value in W1:AH17 would ’12’ (cell AH1), which would then return the value ‘1’ (cell A1).

I currently have a successful formula in AA25…

=ArrayFormula(TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF((MIN(W22:AH22))=(W1:AH17),(A1:A17),"")))

…that returns the value I’m looking for, except it’s using TEXTJOIN to do so. So when I pull that number into another sheet, it isn’t being recognized as a numeric value, but instead text.

enter image description here

>Solution :

Try this

=ArrayFormula(TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF((MIN(W22:AH22))=(W1:AH17),(A1:A17),""))*1)

By using *1 or +0 we turn the text value of the number to a real number.
