When to use Excel MIN Function
MIN function can be used when you want to get the smallest value from a set of values.
What it Returns
It returns the smallest value from a set of values.
Syntax
=MIN(number1, [number2], …)
Input Arguments
number1 – the first number from a set of values from which you want to get the minimum value. [number2], .. – (optional) second number from a set of values from which you want to get the minimum value. Up to 255 arguments can be used in the MIN function.
Additional Notes
Empty cells, logical values, or text in the array or reference are ignored. Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause errors. Arguments can either be numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers. Logical values and text representations of numbers that you type directly into the list of arguments are counted. If an argument is an array or reference, only numbers in that array or reference are used. Empty cells, logical values, or text in the array or reference are ignored. If the arguments contain no numbers, MIN returns 0 (zero).
