I have imported a cost item list from quickbooks. I have many items and I am
trying to find a way to get the minimum for each item without going through
each item. The items are in colum A and the Cost is in colum H. I would
like to put the minimum cost in colum J. Is thsi possible in excel 97? If
so, How???

How is the minimum cost calculated?

=MIN(IF(A2:A200="Material",C2:C200))

as an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
