I needed code to use string arguments for these arithmetic functions, so added a little code.
VBA Code:
Function Mini(ParamArray values())
    ' Return smalest "Value"
    ' 12/18/20 Copied form MrExcel.Com, "Passing UDF w ParamArray". WML
     
    Mini = values(0)
    For Each Value In values
        Call Is_Number(Value)
        If TypeName(Value) = "String" Then Value = CDbl(Value)
        If Value < Mini Then Mini = Value
    Next
 
End Function ' Mini


Function Maxi(ParamArray values() As Variant) As Variant
    ' 12/18/20 Copied form MrExcel.Com, "Passing UDF w ParamArray". WML
 
    Maxi = values(0)
    For Each Value In values
        Call Is_Number(Value)
        If TypeName(Value) = "String" Then Value = CDbl(Value)
        If Value > Maxi Then Maxi = Value
    Next
 
End Function ' Maxi


Sub Is_Number(Value)
    ' Test that "Value" is a number.
    ' 12/18/20 WML
 
    Const Test_Values = "123456789."
 
    Is_Number = True

    For i = 1 To Len(Value)
        Char = Mid(Value, i, 1)
        If InStr(Test_Values, Char) = 0 Then
            If Trace() Then  ' < -- a Function returning True or False from NAMES
                Stop
            Else
                End
            End If
        End If
    Next i
         
End Sub ' Min_Max_Test
