Select the data and do Data / Sort and choose an option

If you just want a formula for the lowest then =MIN(Your_Range)

or even

=SMALL(Your_Range,1) for smallest
=SMALL(Your_Range,2) for 2nd smallest
=SMALL(Your_Range,3) for 3rd smallest etc

Hi,
Suppose column A1:A50 contain names of cities,B1:B50 contain names of
trucking companies, & column C1:C50 contain Prices.Then you may try as
follows.
Select C1:C50 from top to bottom ,then without lifting the mouse button
,select to the left,columns B1:B50 & A1:A50.Now sort this from Data menu.
Now, the new column C1:C50 will show the prices Upward or downward depending
on the sort order made.
Thank you,
K.S.Warrier
