MIN

Returns the minimum of a list of arguments, ignoring text entries.

Syntax:

MIN(number1; number2; ... number30)

number1 to number30 are up to 30 numbers or ranges containing numbers.

Example:

MIN(2; 6; 4)

returns 2, the smallest value in the list.

MIN(B1:B3)

where cells B1, B2, B3 contain 1.1, 2.2, and apple returns 1.1.

Issues:

  • Calc assumes that logical values are 1 (TRUE) and 0 (FALSE). Excel ignores logical values.
