Find min based on criteria, not to return zero values

[projectile]

I have this array which appears to work, however I do not want it to return zero values, just anything greater than zero.

Is this possible?

{=MIN((DATASET!$A$2:$A$78956=A2)*DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956)}

I also wanted to use similar formula to return the SUPPLIER who is linked to this minimum value. The supplier is stored in column Z of the DATASET sheet. I have tried Googling a way to offset the above formula to return result of column Z instead of column Y, but not getting any where.. Would appreciate some help.

thanks

To get the minimum but not 0 try

{=MIN(IF(DATASET!$A$2:$A$78956=A2,IF(DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956<>0,DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956)))}

To get the supplier, I suggest trying VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH depending on your data.
to get started with these try googling them. I personally prefer videos as it explains and shows you at the same time how they work.

Hi Sinon, thanks for your reply. your formula worked thanks.

With regards to the second question to return another column of the min formula, I tried the follow but it returns #REF

{=INDEX(MIN((IF(DATASET!$A$2:$A$78956=A46,IF(DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956<>0,DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956)))),0,2)}

Any ideas where i'm going wrong?

Thought this may have done the trick, but returns N/A

=INDEX(DATASET!$AH$2:$AH$78956,MATCH(MIN((IF(DATASET!$A$2:$A$78956=A50,IF(DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956<>0,DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956)))),$Y$2:$Y$78956,0))

PLease advise

Sheet1 (processing)

Row\Col	A​
49​

53​	supplier

A50 houses the condition of interest.

In A51 control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=MIN(IF(DATASET!$A$2:$A$78956=A50,IF(ISNUMBER(1/DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956),
    DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956)))

In A52 control+shift+enter:

<strike></strike>=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(DATASET!$A$2:$A$78956=A50,IF(ISNUMBER(1/DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956),
     IF(DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956=A51,MATCH(DATASET!$AH$2:$AH$78956,DATASET!$AH$2:$AH$78956,0)))),
     ROW(DATASET!$AH$2:$AH$78956)-ROW(DATASET!$AH$2)+1),1))<strike></strike>

In A54 control+shift+enter and copy down:

=IF(ROWS(A$54:A54)<=$A$52,INDEX(DATASET!$AH$2:$AH$78956,MIN(IF(DATASET!$A$2:$A$78956=A$50,
    IF(DATASET!$Y$2:$Y$78956=A$51,IF(ISNA(MATCH(DATASET!$AH$2:$AH$78956,A$53:A53,0)),
    ROW(DATASET!$AH$2:$AH$78956)-ROW(DATASET!$AH$2)+1))))),"")

This set up picks out all distinct suppliers associated with the min value, computed using the criterion value in A50.
