Default Don't use cells that have a 0 value

Mike,
This formula is in a merged cell and it it says I can't do that. The
original formula works in the merged cell though.
I un-merged the cell and tried it and i still get #N/A

try this instead

=INDEX('Sign-up sheet'!B3:B124,MATCH(MIN(IF(('Sign-up
sheet'!F3:F124<0),'Sign-up sheet'!F3:F124)),'Sign-up sheet'!F3:F124,0))

Its an arry so commit with CTRL+Shift+Enter NOT jusr enter. If you do it
correctly Excel will put curly brackets around it {} you can't type thses
yourself.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response.
I tried this but it returns #N/A The formula is in a different work sheet
called "Pairings". This sheet pairs the High handicap players to the Low
handicap players.

Is there a way to send you the workbook so you can better understand my
problem?

I have a formula:

=INDEX('Sign-Up Sheet'!B3:B124,MATCH(SMALL('Sign-Up
Sheet'!F3:F124,1),'Sign-Up Sheet'!F3:F124,0))

B3:B124 are names in my list of golfers
F3:F124 are handicaps of the golfers

Rows 72 through 124 are blank in column B because I might have more players.
Column F has the formula =SUM()/2 for each row, which is the handicap and
since there is no data in 72-124 it returns 0.00.

How can I stop the formula from using the cells that have 0.00?

Thanks,
Dave
