Default can I use MIN function to find lowest, NON-ZERO or blank value?

I am trying to analyze a large block of data where not all columns have an
entry. I want to find the lowest value (but greater than zero or a blank
cell) and write it into a separate column.

=MIN(IF(A1:A100,A1:A10))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

Hi!

Try this:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=MIN(IF(A1:C50,A1:C5))

You guys rock! The formula works perfectly and will save me hours of manual
searching (and worry that I did it right). The worksheet is already at
column AO and growing wider. Thanks for your quick response.
