Using MIN Function on cells containing formulas
Hello,
I'm trying to use the MIN function to retrieve the smallest bid amount in a document (ex =MIN(B60,J60,N60,R60,V60)). The cells I'm retrieving from contain the SUM formula to get the total bid amount (ex =+B46+B58). When I got to InsertFunction and place the MIN function (=MIN(B60,J60,N60,R60,V60)) I can see at the bottom that "Formula result=" is correct ($123,456), but the cell containing the MIN function just reads $0. Any help on this would be soOo appreciated. Thank you. |

Should work. Does one of the cells requested have 0?
BTW =+B46+B58) need not have the 1st +. This is NOT lotus =B46+B58 is all you need -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software wrote in message ups.com...

Using MIN Function on cells containing formulas
Hi Don,
Thanks for your reply. Don't ever try to figure things out end of the day on Friday. I realized there was a circular reference happening in the sum and it was messing up the totals. I did know there didn't have to be the + after the = it was just another fun mistake! :) Thanks, Bri Don Guillett wrote: Should work. Does one of the cells requested have 0?
