Simple question to find min value
I'm running the macro below to find the minimum value, but the compiler keeps giving me an error at 'If cell = MinNum Then' . Can someone see what's wrong with this? Function MinAddress(rng) Set rng = Columns(22) ' Sets variable equal to maximum value in the input range. MinNum = Application.Min(rng) ' Loop to check each cell in the input range to see if equals the ' MaxNum variable. For Each cell In rng If cell = MinNum Then ' If the cell value equals the MaxNum variable it ' returns the address to the function and exits the loop. MinAddress = cell.Address Exit For End If Next cell End Function Thanks Trevor -- Tre_cool ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tre_cool's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26416 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=397876 |

Simple question to find min value
Trevor,
There's a lot that's not optimal with your code, but it fails because you are looping through using columns, which don't have a value property. Change For Each cell In rng (which really means For each column in the columns of range rng ) to For Each cell In rng.Cells HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Tre_cool" wrote in message ...

It works fine if you remove this line
Set rng = Columns(22) What is it for? -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Tre_cool" wrote in message ...

Simple question to find min value
Trevor,
Here's a better way to do this, no looping, variables declared, function has value passed rather than set: Sub TryNow() MsgBox MinAddress(Columns(22)) End Sub Function MinAddress(rng As Range) As String MinAddress = rng.Cells(Application.Match( _ Application.Min(rng), rng, False)).Address End Function -- HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Bernie Deitrick" <deitbe @ consumer dot org wrote in message ...
