Display 3 Minimum Time slots
I added the ROW($A$2:$A$10)*10^(-3) to cater for duplicates, otherwise 7:00
showed twice, so I added a small variable increment onto each value to
uniqify it.
If you want 5, just copy it down a further 2 rows.

Thanks Bob. it works fine
Just a small question
What does *10^(-3), row() do ?
and what should I do to modify the formula say if I need 5 least time
slots
insted of 3
Thanks

Try this in B11, and copy down and across
=INDEX($A$2:$A$10,MATCH(SMALL(B$2:B$10+ROW($A$2:$A $10)*10^(-3),ROW(A1)),B$2:B$10+ROW($A$2:$A$10)*10^(-3),0))
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.
Note that you cannot use a whole column in array formulae (prior to excel
2007), but must use an explicit range.
