Pull a min value from cells

[Spoontang]

This should be basic, but it isn't working for me for some reason.
I have two cells containing a number from IF formulas, I want the lowest number in another cell.
The =MIN returns 0, I thought it maybe from the IF formulas??
So I put an IF which is =IF(O32<P32,<p32,<p32,o32,if(p32<o32,p32,))
O32,IF(P32<<o32,p32,))
O32,P32))
O32 is 35 at present, P32 is 125, it is returning 125.
Why I don't know, any ideas on fixing it please?
Cheers</o32,p32,))
</p32,<p32,o32,if(p32<o32,p32,))

=MIN(O32,P32)

returns the lower number, but returns 0 if BOTH O32 & P32 are returning a TEXT string

Numbers in BOTH cells

Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit

	O​	P​	Q​	R​
31​
32​	35​	125​	35​	=MIN(O32,P32)
33​

Sheet: Sheet1

Text in BOTH cells

Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit

	O​	P​	Q​	R​

32​	35	125	0​	=MIN(O32,P32)
33​

Cheers Yongle, I had tried to format the cells to numbers but that didn't work. After your reply I changed the IF formula that was feeding the two cells to pull numbers instead of what probably was adding them as text. Fixed the problem.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it worked.
