Default Find Smallest entry but excluding zero

I need to find the smallest number in a column which may have the
range from 0 to 9 but need to exclude 0 ie: strokes in a game of golf
so that I can calculate the lowest number of strokes taken. Zere means
that they have wiped the hole and therefore cannot be used.
Thanks EPJ

Try

SMALL(A1:A100,1+COUNTIF(A1:A100,0))

I only risked it with a golf question because it falls over with negative
values. But who ever got a hole in -1 :)
