which is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

I have a range of data example:
Jan 100
Feb 200
Mar 300
Apr 400
May 0
Jun 0
July 0
Aug 0
etc...
I am using the min() function on the complete data range and of course it
returns a 0 for the answer. However, I would like the min() function to
only
include the Jan - Apr data in the calculation and return 100. How do I
exclude the 0 data because I plan on running the data monthly and picking
up
an extra month of data and then would want the formula to recognize the
new
months data and again exclude the zeros. Thanks.
