formula to look up and return smallest date from a range of dates

BJ

Excel stores dates as a number starting with 1 at Jan 1, 1900 so I guess that
would be the "smallest date" you could get.

With column A being dates, enter this formula in any cell in an adjacent
column.

=MIN(A:A) and Format as date.
