MINA

Returns the smallest value in the list of arguments. Text and logical values such as TRUE and FALSE are compared as well as numbers.

Syntax

MINA(value1,value2, ...)

Value1,value2, ...   are 1 to 30 values for which you want to find the smallest value.

• You can specify arguments that are numbers, empty cells, logical values, or text representations of numbers. Arguments that are error values cause errors. If the calculation must not include text or logical values, use the MIN worksheet function instead.
• If an argument is an array or reference, only values in that array or reference are used. Empty cells and text values in the array or reference are ignored.
• Arguments that contain TRUE evaluate as 1; arguments that contain text or FALSE evaluate as 0 (zero).
• If the arguments contain no values, MINA returns 0.

Examples

If A1:A5 contains the numbers 10, 7, 9, 27, and 2, then:

MINA(A1:A5) equals 2

MINA(A1:A5, 0) equals 0

If A1:A5 contains the values FALSE, 0.2, 0.5, 0.4, and 0.8, then:

MINA(A1:A5) equals 0

MINA is similar to MAXA. Also see the examples for MAXA.
