Finding minum positive from the result of formula
hi,
I have four five each contain number 5, 2, 3, 4, 6 in cell A1 to E1. Now in a new cell let's say B1 i need to select the minum positive value from below formula formula 1 A1-B1 = 3 formula 1 A1-C1 = 2 formula 1 A1-D1 = 1 formula 1 A1-E1 = -1 How do i develop a formula to be able to show the value of (A1-D1) which is the minimum positive value. -- Sincerely Yours Haviv |

Probably not the most compact formula, but it does seem to do what you asked... =MIN(IF(A1-B1<=0,1E+300,A1-B1),IF(A1-C1<=0,1E+300,A1-C1),IF(A1-D1<=0,1E+300,A1-D1),IF(A1-E1<=0,1E+300,A1-E1)) Rick |

=MIN(IF($A$1-$B1:$E10,$A$1-$B1:$E1))
Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter You will get {} round the formula if entered correctly "haviv" wrote: hi, I have four five each contain number 5, 2, 3, 4, 6 in cell A1 to E1.

Finding minum positive from the result of formula
Did you test this ...
=A1-LARGE(B1:E1,COUNTIF(B1:E1,"="&A1)) ???? Answer is -1 which not what OP wanted. It also fails on this sequence of numbers: 5 2 3 4 4 or any sequence where B1 :E1 is not A1 "Harlan Grove" wrote: "Harlan Grove" wrote... "haviv" wrote... ....
