You're absolutely right.

However, as I mentioned in a thread yesterday concerning averaging without
zeroes, the transition from positive to negative predisposes the presence
of
zeroes.

Therefore, one can assume ... no 0's ... no negatives.

Though your point is well taken, since we never actually know how or where
our suggestions will be used.

But I don't think that formula works correctly if there are negative
numbers?

Non-array option:

=SMALL(A1:A100,COUNTIF(A1:A100,0)+1)

If the values are in A1:A10 then you can use an array formula which must
be entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter

=MIN(IF(A1:A10<0,A1:A10))
