Min Max What's Wrong?
I think you *do* get the right answer for MIN. One of your cells in A4:A36 is zero or something which is interpreted as zero by
the MIN function. You can check by inserting a column in which you copy column A and format it as number. -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "shep" wrote in message ... | XP Pro Office 2003 | I have this in cell A2: | ="For "&TEXT(MIN(A4:A36),"dd-mmm-yy")&" through | "&TEXT(MAX(A4:A36),"dd-mmm-yy") | | I enter today's date in cell A4 and get this returned in cell A2 | For 00-Jan-00 through 04-Oct-06 | | Why am I not getting correct date for MIN? | | Thanks |

Min Max What's Wrong?
Dave and Nick
Nick you are right. I had cells in the range with formated for date and MIN was picking that up. Nothing wrong after all. I apologize for my oversight, but appreciate your responses and help.
