Hi

I am trying to place the two lowest numbers from a selection into a formula
eg:

selection = 1,3,5,6

Then my formula would be : say 1+3

any ideas???

The Small function finds the lowest nth item in a range, as in:

=small(a1:a5,1)+small(a1:a5,2)

Regards,
Fred.

If your values were entered in A1 to D1, then:

=SUM(SMALL(A1:D1,{1,2}))
