Min-Max question
 
Worksheet named "Data" has two columns, column A is types of fruit. Column B
is quantity of that fruit.

Apples 1
Apples 5
Apples 15
Oranges 1
Oranges 4
Oranges 12


How do I, from another worksheet in the workbook, make a formula that
says--- Look in Data worksheet, and return the minimum quantity of apples.

I have tried several combinations of the "If" and "Min" functions, but can
not seem to put them together well. Can anyone help?

Just point to the cell in the array formula:
=MIN(IF(Data!A1:A6=B2,Data!B1:B6))

If instead of typing "Apples" I wanted to reference Cell B2 of the current
worksheet to find the value- Do you know how I could do that?
