Minimum results
Column A has some numbers in it, Column B has some numbers in it, and Column
C=A*B respectivily. At the bottom of column C is the Min, Max ,and Average functions of column C i.e C31 =Min(C1:C30). Not all rows in A and B have data but all cells in C have the formula. I don't have a problem with getting the Average or Maximum of column C just the Minimum because it seems to think the blank cells in column C are the minumums therefore my minimum cell (C31) is blank even though the formula for cell C31 is there. Also I do not want to have to go into each cell of column C and remove the formula because A & B do not have data. Please help. Thanks JD |

Try in C31, array-entered*: =MIN(IF(C1:C300,C1:C30))

You may wish to distinguish between blank cells and true values of zero.
Perhaps along the lines of =MIN(IF(C1:C30<"",C1:C30)) And C1 to have =IF(COUNT(A1:B1)=2,A1*B1,"") -- David Biddulph "Max" wrote in message ...

Hi JD,
something to think about - in column C you have formulas =A*B, if A and B are empty, the formula in column C returns 0. The AVERAGE of blank cells and cells with 0 are not the same. So you may need to apply the same type of logic to this calculation as you did to MIN. The problem is the MIN returns 0 so the issue is obvious while AVERAGE returns a number so it is not obvious. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "JD" wrote: Column A has some numbers in it, Column B has some numbers in it, and Column C=A*B respectivily.
