Hi all,

This is my first post here:

I'm attempting to identify the smallest number within a column. I have a series of sheets with a column that's filled with profit from forex trades.
The formula is here

=MIN(IF(O4:O254<0,MIN(O4:O254),O4:O254))

It is working fine to give the largest loss

I have an overview sheet also which has more data in the columns and I need to exclude some figures from the calculation, they are giving skewed results

=COUNTIFS(F2:F252,"isnumber", N2:N252, MIN(IF(N2:N252<0,MIN(N2:N252),N2:N252)))

Please note that the N/O column difference is only due to the way the information is displayed, the

Essentially I am trying to exclude the any rows from the calculation if the cell in F is blank.

The current formula returns a $0.00 value but that's not correct.

Any assistance would be wonderful and very appreciated.
 
Actually blank, there is no data in those cells
Interesintly I tried
=MIN(IF(F2:F25<>"",N2:N25,""))
limited range

And got a #value error

Highlight Duplicates

When I used the formula for rows 2 to 25, I got a min value of -40.64.
All this is suggesting to me is that there are extraneous characters in the F and/or the N column that came over from your download.

See what you get with:

Code:
=MIN(IF(TRIM(F2:F252)<>"",N2:N252,""))

Alternatively, as you suggested, this also gives -42.44

Code:
=MIN(IF(C2:C252<>"balance",N2:N252,""))

I'm still getting -100 in the target cell for the "balance" formula

and #Value! for the Trim formula

:(

Well, as you can see, that's not what I get in U13

You can't upload a workbook on the site because of concerns about a possible virus.

You might try something like this in the AA2 cell and fill down:

Code:
=SUBSTITUTE(N2,CHAR(CODE(LEFT(N2))),"")

and see if there's a 202 (leading character) somewhere.

That's understandable.
I'll upload the section again

I'm afraid that doesn't help because when that data is copied, only the raw data is copied.
After I did that (again), I wrote the formula in U25 (there are alternate blank lines in the copied data; it's U13 if the blank lines are removed) and still got -42.44

Here's another idea. In, say, the Z column (Where there's nothing relating to your data), enter this:

Code:
=(CLEAN(N2))*1

and fill that down.

Then, change the formula in U13 to:

Code:
=MIN(IF(C2:C252<>"balance",Z2:Z252,""))

And see if that gives you the min value now.

The CLEAN function gets rid of a lot of issues (not all).
