In a worksheet cell, I'd use an array formula like:

=MIN(IF(A1:A65535<0,A1:A65535))
(hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of just enter)

But notice that this array formula can't use the whole column.

In code, I'd use something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim minVal As Variant
Dim myRng As Range

With Worksheets("sheet1")
Set myRng = Range("a1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
End With

minVal = Application.Evaluate("min(if(" _
& myRng.Address(external:=True) & "<0," _
& myRng.Address(external:=True) & "))")

MsgBox minVal
End Sub

How can I found the minimum value in a list ignoring the zeros?
for the moment I only know
MinValue = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(Range("A:A"))
thanks in advance
