In row 1

Min: =MIN(A1:INDEX(A1:$A$40,MIN(IF(A1:$A$40="",ROW(A1:$ A$40)))-1))
Max: =MAX(A1:INDEX($A1:$A$40,MIN(IF($A1:$A$40="",ROW($A 1:$A$40)))-1))

subsequent rows
Min:
=IF(A1="",MIN(A2:INDEX(A2:$A$40,MIN(IF(A2:$A$40="" ,ROW(A2:$A$40)))-1)),"")
Max:
=IF(A1="",MAX(A2:INDEX(A2:$A$40,MIN(IF(A2:$A$40="" ,ROW(A2:$A$40)))-1)),"")

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
