Finding Minimum value
Hello,
I know the formula for finding the minimum value in a range is =MIN(G7:G31) But how do you find the minimum value and ignore all the 0 values? Thanks Ruan

Finding Minimum value
Assuming all data is positive and you just want to exclude 0s, then
=MIN(IF(A1:A1000,A1:A100)) array entered using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER -- Regards Ken.......................

Finding Minimum value
Ken is right. the only difference I would use if you do want to unclude negative values is to change the argument to =MIN(IF(or(A1:A1000,a1:a1000),A1:A100)) This will let you select the negatives as well

Finding Minimum value
Thanks Bruce and Ken. Ken's formula is what I needed, as I am looking for
the minimum percentage above 0 in a range. Ruan "Ken Wright" wrote in message ... With negatives in there but excl 0s =MIN(IF(A1:A1000,A1:A100)) array entered -- Regards Ken.......................
