For MIN try this:
D1: =MIN(IF(($A$1:$A$5=D1),$B$1:$B$5)) Note: commit that array formula by holding down the [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys when you press [Enter] Does that help? €¢€¢€¢€¢€¢€¢€¢€¢€¢€¢ Regards, Ron "Rich" wrote: Ron, Thank You, this is very helpful.

Ron,
Yes, it does work when I did [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys when I pressed [Enter]. I gather that {} indicates array formula? Not sure if I understand that. Otherwise, Thanks for your help. A big help for my project.

Thank you Ron. This appears to be a great help! One more quick one, why
about the MIN too? I inserted MIN and it did not work. Any ideas?
