Also, what if all the associated values with yyy are 0 (if that's even
possible?)?

If the min value for yyy is 0 do you want to exclude that value?

A non-array formula will be rather convoluted!

thank you mike..

it worked but it is possible to make it not an array formula?

Try,

=MIN(IF(A2:A6=A3,IF(B2:B60,B2:B6)))

This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing
CTRL+Shift+Enter
'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly
brackets
'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the
formula
'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

70 --=SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A2:A6=A3)*(B2:B6)))
the above formula is the MAX for yyy, how can i edit the above formula
to
get the MIN value from the list but not zero if column A is yyy. im
