There was a discussion of this a few months back in this forum. There
seems to be some thought that what the VLOOKUP function returns is
something other than an array. For what it's worth, if you were to array
enter

=MIN(VLOOKUP(A1:A3,A1:B8,2,0) into two or more cells, it would in fact
return the expected minimum value to each cell.

Yes, my statement was incorrect. Thanks Alan!

While VLOOKUP does accept an array of lookup values, it doesn't seem to
pass that array to a subsequent function, as in the following...

{=MIN(VLOOKUP(A1:A3,A1:B8,2,0))}

??

=VLOOKUP(a1:a3,a1:b8,2,0) array entered in a 3-cell column returns the
values from Column B corresponding to the values in A1:A3.
