I am trying to find a formula that, for each row, will display the value of the cell which is closest to 0. In order to use negative time values I have had to use the 1904 date system which I believe is disrupting the results when Excel calculates the minimum value. I have currently tried something like =MIN(ABS(A1),ABS(A2)) but this is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can go about fixing this?
