=min()

it ignores text and empty cells.

or maybe:

=if(count(a1:a10)=0,"No Numbers",min(a1:a10))

I used this formula and it works great

{=min(if((a1:a10)0,(a1:a10)))}

Notice though it is an array formula

Since the OP is working with dates, I bet all of the dates are positive <bg.

Seems like overkill to me.
