Default Min/Max with IF(?) criteria

Bob,

Tried the formula but kept getting a formula error message pointing to the
zero. Any suggestions?

=MIN(IF(A1:A100<0)*(B1:B100="Mon"),A1:A100))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
Excel will automatically enclose the formula in braces (curly brackets), do
not try to do this manually.
When editing the formula, it must again be array-entered.

I have two columns. A contains numbers, B contains text days of week (Mon,
Tue, etc.) starting from 01/01/07. How do I write a formula that will
give
me the Min in column A based on the day of the week, discounting any days
where the the number in A is zero (presumably the same formula will work
for
Max).

Thanks,

Ron R.
