Can't find a function

Can't find a function

Could I ask some assistance in figuring out some formulas to perform a couple of calculations I am attempting to perform?  I cannot find anything in the help files.

Scenario 1:  Let's say that, for any given row, columns E through X all contain numeric values, except that one and only one contains text.  How would I perform a calculation that finds that occurrence of text, or even the "first" (of one) occurrence of text in columns E through X, and set that cell's value equal to the text?

Secondarily, is there a way, let's say in column G, to run a test, and if true, also place the "true" value (or "false" value, for that matter), in column B?

Scenario 2:  Let's say that columns E through X in a given row all contain numeric values, no text.  Let's say that another column has a test to determine the minimum value of columns E through X in that given row.  There are multiple occurrences of that minimum value in that row.  How can I write a calculation(s) to finds the first occurrence of that minimum value, and return the value of row one in the column that contains the first occurrence of that minimum value?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
