How do I do a cost comparison of products from many vendors?

[rolson]

I have a list of about 50 different products that I want to compare different
vendor's costs. There are about five vendors total.

How do you do the comparison manually? We need that to arrive at an
automated solution.

Hi

If you enter your suppliers in B1 to F1 , and enter your Products in
A2:A51
Fill in Prices as appropriate
In cell G2 enter
=MIN($B2:$F2)
in Cell H2 enter
=INDEX($B$1:$F$1,MATCH(G2,$B2:$F2,0))

Select cells G2:H2 and copy the formulae down through cells G3:G51

You will now have the Lowest Price on each row in G and the Name of the
supplier in cell H .
