I have a spreadsheet that lists the earliest and latest day that snow fell each year. The Earliest date is listed in column "R" and the Latest in column "T. The rest of the spreadsheet is set up so that I can in put a start date and an end date and it will only give me the applicable data between the two. It does this by eliminating the irrelavent data in the next colum to the right ("S" for earliest and "U" for the latest), which works perfectly for what I need it to do.
The problem that I am having is getting excel to find the earliest date in the column S (range S5:S489) and the latest date in column U (range U5:U489) without taking year into consideration. I want it to show me that the earliest date in the range is 13 October 2011 and not 29 October 2005 since it is the earliest in the range. I have tried going with a simple "=MIN(S5:S489)" (and "=MAX(U5:U489)" for the latest date), but all that shows me is the earliest date based off of year.
This is one of the last things I need to fix on this spreadsheet and the solution has been eluding me for some time now. Any suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated. If there is anything that I need to clarrify on, please let me know and I will do what I can so that a solution can be reached.
Thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

John
