Hi BJ

Assuming they are all valid Excel dates and not text representations of the date then =MIN(A1:A100) Regards Roger Govier BJ wrote: I need a formula that will look up the smallest date, and return it, from a range of mixed dates. |

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.
