Need a formula to serve a simple/complex function.

NEED IT TO PERFORM A -=COUNTIF- TO MAKE SURE THE VALUES IN
CLOUMN A MATCH CERTAIN CRITERIA. IF THEY MATCH THE CRITERIA
THAN I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO SEARCH ANOTHER COLUMN IN THE SAME ROW
AND OF THOSE VALUES AND RETURN ME THE MINIMUM VALUE OF ALL THE RESULTS.

-Ex., (Table of Supermarket prices) I have a table that has Fruit in
column A and Prices in column B. I need to search for bananas and have
the minimum price returned to me.-

Any help would be great, I am sooo lost on this one.

Try...

=MIN(IF(A2:A100="Banana",B2:B100))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER.

Hope this helps!
