Pull SECOND MINIMUM VALUE from a range meeting certain conditions

[hsandeep]

My 'actual' range is AC38:BH38 which contains values or "" & I want to get the Second MINIMUM VALUE from this 'actual' range in final cell address HF38.
There is a helper row $AC$58:$BH$58 which contains "Y" to certify that the corresponding cells in the above row 38 contains values & not "" & ALSO to certify that from these cells only the Second MINIMUM VALUE has to be pulled. This helper row $AC$58:$BH$58 does not contain any -ve values although it contains "".

For getting: the Second MINIMUM VALUE in HF38, I used HF38=MIN((ABS(IFERROR(VALUE(AC38:BH38),1)+1))*IF(AC38:BH38="",999^9,1)*IF(AC38:BH38>HD38,1,999^9)*IF($AC$58:$BH$58="Y",1,999^9))-1 only to get HF38=9.91036E+26 !!!

What should be the formula used? This is required in HF38.
Thanks in adv.

Enter this formula in cell HF38:

=SMALL(AC38:BH38,2)

I want to pull Second MINIMUM VALUE from the 'actual' range i.e. AC38:BH38 meeting 2 conditions:

1. Value pulled from the cell>0
2. where the value in the corresponding cell in the helper row i.e. $AC$58:$BH$58 MUST contain "Y"

Note: In my previous thread #2, HD38=MINIMUM VALUE from the 'actual' range i.e. AC38:BH38.

1. 999^9 doesn't make sense, if not non-sense; put otherwise, it's someone's mystery you appear to adopt.

2. Control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=IFERROR(SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(AC38:BH38),IF(AC38:BH38>0,AC38:BH38)),2),"N/A")

Above formula returns Second MINIMUM VALUE from the 'actual' range i.e. AC38:BH38. But it meets 1st condition & not the 2nd. While pulling Second MINIMUM VALUE from the 'actual' range i.e. AC38:BH38, it should consider those cells ONLY where the value in the corresponding cell in the helper row i.e. $AC$58:$BH$58 IS "Y".

Why do you call it helper row at all if it's an independent condition range?

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=IFERROR(SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(AC38:BH38),IF(AC38:BH38>0,IF($AC$58:$BH$58="Y",AC38:BH38))),2),"N/A")

Probably, a better way to....
Little difference in understanding: Your formula gives Second Minimum as per occurrence & I need second minimum UNIQUE...pardon me if I am unclear here to explain. In below table, instead of row#43, kindly consider row#58. Minimum is ALREADY 15 in AE36, so I don't wan't 15 (AH36) (as second minimum). Next Minimum is 19 in AI36. This I want to pull.

Now that we have full specs...

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=SMALL(IF(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(1/AC38:BD38),
  IF(AC38:BD38>0,MATCH(AC38:BD38,AC38:BD38,0))),
  COLUMN(AC38:BD38)-COLUMN(AC38)+1),
  TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(AC38:BD38)-COLUMN(AC38)+1)),
  TRANSPOSE($AC$38:$BD$38)),2)

  TRANSPOSE($AC$38:$BD$38)),2)

I changed it a little....
=SMALL(IF(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(ISNUMBER(1/AC42:BH42),IF(AC42:BH42>0,MATCH(AC42:BH42,AC42:BH42,0))),COLUMN(AC42:BH42)-COLUMN(AC42)+1),TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(AC42:BH42)-COLUMN(AC42)+1)),TRANSPOSE($AC$56:$BH$56)),2)
but I get 0 instead of a number!!!

[/QUOTE]

Aladin, Please convey...Is your formula taking care of the 2nd condition i.e. "where the value in the corresponding cell in the row $AC$58:$BH$58 IS "Y"?

I am asking this because the formula neither contain $AC$58:$BH$58 nor "Y" .
I need second minimum UNIQUE
