-- How do I find the minimum value in a range while ignoring any zeros in
that range using Excel 2007?

If the numbers are *always* positive..

Array entered**:

..=MIN(IF(A1:A10>0,A1:A10))

Or, normally entered:

=SMALL(A1:A10,COUNTIF(A1:A10,0)+1)

If there might be negative numbers...

Array entered**:

=MIN(IF(A1:A10<>0,A1:A10))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

You could use a conditional MIN, something like this in say B2, array-entered
ie press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula (instead of just pressing
ENTER):
=MIN(IF(A2:A10>0,A2:A10))
Success? hit the YES below
