Min Year in an Array
I am looking at an array and trying to return the earliest year. I have
tried this: {=IF(Export!$A$2:$A$282=A3,YEAR(MIN(Export!$L$2:$L $282,"")))} Column A is checking the array for a specific name. If it finds it, I would like the output to be the YEAR of the earliest date in L. As output, I get either "#VALUE!" or "FALSE". Thanks. |

Try this array formula** :
=MIN(IF(Export!$A$2:$A$282=A3,YEAR(Export!$L$2:$L$ 282))) ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) If A3 is not found in Export!$A$2:$A$282 the formula will return 0. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "PAL" wrote in message ...

Thanks. This works fine however sometimes there are a few blank values that
come up in column L and causes the output to be 1900. Is there away to make them blanks? Specifically, ignore the blanks. Have a good weekend. "T.

Try adding the check on "col L 0" like this, array-entered: =MIN(IF((Export!$A$2:$A$283=A3)*(Export!$L$2:$L$28 30),YEAR(Export!$L$2:$L$283))) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
