MIN(n1,n2,n3,..)

• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n1,n2,n3…, } are the numbers.

Description

• This function gives the smallest number in a given set of values.
• In Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle MIN(n1,n2,n3,…)} $n1$ is required and Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle n2,n3….} ,are optional.
• Here $n1,n2,n3,...$, can be numbers, names, arrays or references that contain numbers.
• Also logical values and text representation can be valid when we are entering directly.
• In a referred array only numbers are considered.Empty cells,logical values or text in the referred array are not considered.
• suppose the arguments contain no numbers then this gives the value as 0.
• This functon will return the result as error when any one of the argument is nonnumeric or the referred array cannot translated in to numbers.
• suppose we want to consider the logical values in a referred array , we can include in the MINA function.

Examples

1. MIN(10,15,28,87)=10
2. MIN(-5,-8,-15,0)=-15
3. MIN(0.45,0.265,0.314,0.121)=0.121
4. MIN(4,7,9,TRUE)=1
5. MIN(4,7,9,FALSE)=0

5 8 TRUE MIN(B1:B3)=5
