Why are blanks being ignored by my MIN function?
Thanks Ron
I don't know how I never ran into this problem before. I didn't know about
N() and that is a very elegant solution. I didn't want to have to resort to
an if/then to fix.

The MIN function ignores blanks...that's usually preferred.
Try this:
=MIN(100,N(A1))
Is that something you can work with?

in Excel 2003 I have a formula =MIN (100, A1)
If A1 is blank it returns 100 but if A1=0 then it returns 0.
Why doesn't it see the blank as a 0? Is there a setting or option that I
am
missing? I didn't have this problem in Excel 2000 (my work recently
upgraded
us)
