Don't use DMIN. Use an array formula like

=MIN(IF($A$2:$A$6="Apple",$B$2:$B$6))

You could use DMIN as the formula for a data table, but it's still
klunky.

TNANKS A LOT:o)
It did not work at first time then i realiese there must be small mistake
and it was array nesting { } by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter. It work grate.
Thanks once again for solving my problem i was working for it more than a
