min in range if greater than 0

[Trevor3007]

hello,

I need to display the minimum mileage in a range (a1:a39) that is greater than 0..

i tried
=if( a1:a39>0,MIN(C9:C38)) but that did not work.

please can someone help me to resolve?

thank you.

how about
=MINIFS(a1:a39,A1:A39,">"&0)

why the different ranges in your statement ?

Book2
	A	B	C
1
2	0		MIN > 0
3	5		2
4	2
5	0
6	3
7	4
8	5
9	6
Sheet2

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
C3	C3	=MINIFS(A2:A9,A2:A9,">"&0)

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

You were close. The formula works better this way:

=MIN(IF(A9:A38>0,C9:C38,""))

Or in the direction etaf was going:

=MINIFS(C9:C38,A9:A38,">"&0)

However, also as etaf was asking, why are the ranges of different sizes? They should be the same size for these formulas to work effectively.
