Hi

Does anyone know what formula I would enter into a cell to enable the return of the leser value of two other cells?

EG

A1= 15
A2 = 20
A3 would take a formula to return the value of 15

    Hi poodle,
    =IF(B1>A1,A1,B1)
    Should do the trick the only issue is what you want to do if they are equal, this formala will return the equal value

    Hi Toffeemadblue

    Thank you for your help and that does as required.

    I forgot about a clustered if statement :blushing:

    Or you can use

    "=min(number1, number2, ...)"

    You can also reference ranges, names i.e.

    =min(A1:A10) will return lowest number in range A1:A10

    Empty cells are ignored.
