MIN function
I am having difficulty writing a formula to find the MIN of a list of
non-consecutive numbers that contains a lot of zeros. The formula keeps returning zero. How do I find the MIN greater than zero? |

MIN function
Vanessa
Try this =MIN(IF(D1:D200,D1:D20)) This is an array formula which must be entered with CTRL+Shift+Enter and NOT just by pressing enter. If you do it correctly Excel will put cur;y brackets {} around the formula. You can't type these yourself Mike "vanessa" wrote: I am having difficulty writing a formula to find the MIN of a list of non-consecutive numbers that contains a lot of zeros.

MIN function
It doesn't seem to be working for me, but maybe this is because the cells I
want the MIN of are not consecutive. So this is what I typed in: =MIN(IF(N6,T6,Z6,AF6,AL6,AR6,AX6,BD60, N6,T6,Z6,AF6,AL6,AR6,AX6,BD6) "Mike H" wrote: Vanessa Try this =MIN(IF(D1:D200,D1:D20)) This is an array formula which must be entered with CTRL+Shift+Enter and NOT just by pressing enter.

MIN function
Vanessa,
I missed the discontiguous bit, Try this instead =MIN(IF((MOD(COLUMN(N6:BD6),6)=2)*(N6:BD60),N6:BD 6)) Still ARRAY entered with CTRL+Shift+Enter Mike "vanessa" wrote: It doesn't seem to be working for me, but maybe this is because the cells I want the MIN of are not consecutive.
