I have column of totals calulated by using the sum of row elements. I want
to find the non zero minimum value. I tried to SORT but that didn't work.
Help menu suggested DMIN, but this also did not work for me. I am sure there
must be an easy answer. Please help.

try the following array formula (entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):
=MIN(IF(A1:Z10,A1:Z1))

Another way would be to change your summation formulas as follows.

=IF(YourSumFormula=0,"0",YourSumFormula)

Then the regular =MIN(C1:c10) would work to give you the minimum NUMBER of
what is left.

if all values are zero or positive another method would be
=small(range,countif(range,0)+1))
