Advanced Excel Statistical - MINA Function
Description
The MINA fuction returns the smallest value in the list of arguments.
Syntax
MINA (value1, [value2] ...)
Arguments
| Argument | Description | Required/ Optional |
|---|---|---|
| Value1, value2, ... | 1 to 255 values for which you want to find the smallest value. | Value1 is required, subsequent values are optional. |
Notes
Arguments can be the following −
Numbers
names, arrays, or references that contain numbers
text representations of numbers
logical values, such as TRUE and FALSE, in a reference
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).
Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause errors.
If the arguments contain no values, MINA returns 0.
If you do not want to include logical values and text representations of numbers in a reference as part of the calculation, use the MIN function.
If any values that are supplied directly to the Mina function are non-numeric, MINA returns #VALUE! Error.
