Default MIN ARRAY FORMULA


Hi

{=ADDRESS(MIN(IF($I$9:$I$373=MIN($I$9:$I$373)*($I$ 9:$I$373<0),ROW($I$9:$I$373))),MIN(IF($I$9:$I$373 =MIN($I$9:$I$373)*($I$9:$I$373<0),COLUMN($I$9:$I$ 373))))}

This formula only works fine except when there are zeros in column I even
though the formula is looking at vlaues < 0
For example: rows 9 to 84 have values, rows 85 to 373 have 0.
The formula gives the result of I85.
If rows 85 to 373 are left blank the result is correct.

Can anyone help?

Default MIN ARRAY FORMULA

I'm assuming that you want the cell address of the minimum value in a
column.

Since your dealing with a single, *known* column (Column I), I don't
understand why your calculating the second argument of the Address()
function.
Simply plug in "9" for the ninth column which is "I".

If my assumptions are correct, this should work for you:

=ADDRESS(MATCH(SMALL(I9:I373,COUNTIF(I9:I373,0)+1) ,I9:I373,0)+8,9)

Default MIN ARRAY FORMULA

Hi

That works a treat.

I have 2 supplementary questions

If the same minimum value appears more than once in the list,how can I find
the last entry?

I replaced SMALL with MAX. That worked but if there are more than 2 maximum
values in the list, how can I find the last entry?

Default MIN ARRAY FORMULA

Are your numbers sorted in descending order?

No the nmubers are random, actually the column to the left is in date order
and this column has the amount relating to that date

Ok, do you specifically need the cell address or do want the actual number
but the only way you know how to find it is by using the address formula?

We can do either one.

Default MIN ARRAY FORMULA

I know the values, I just want to display the cell references of the latest
largest and smallest values, ignoring zeros as the zero values are next to
future dates
