MIN
Returns the smallest number in a set of values.
Syntax
MIN(number1,number2, ...)
Number1, number2, ... are 1 to 30 numbers for which you want to find the minimum value.
Remarks
- You can specify arguments that are numbers, empty, logical values, or text representations of numbers. Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause errors.
- If an argument is a column reference, only numbers are used. If logical values and text should not be ignored, use MINA instead.
- If the arguments contain no numbers, MIN returns 0.
