MINA(n1,n2,n3,..)

Description

This function gives the smallest number in a given set of values.
In $MINA(n1,n2,n3,...),n1$ is required and $n2,n3...$ ,are optional.
Here $n1,n2,n3,...$ , can be numbers, names, arrays or references that contain numbers.
Also logical values and text representations can be valid.
Suppose the argument contain the logical value TRUE , it is considered as 1 and if it is FALSE ,it is considered as 0.
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.
If we want make logical values and text representations of numbers as dummy then we can use the MIN function.
