Default Formula to pick the lower of two cell calculations

One way:

=MIN(A1,B1)

Another way:

=IF(A1<B1,A1,B1)

Hope this helps.

There must be a simple way to do this, but I can't figure it out for
the life of me. I'm doing calculations and I have two numbers in two
different cells. Say, it's cell A1 and B1. I want cell C1 to simply
pick whichever number of those previous two is lower and display
that. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.
