find smallest number not equal to 0

[dave]

What I want to do is find the lowest number in a column that is not equal to 0.

example

column A1
10
0
15
0
10
0
2
0


The result I want would be 2.

I tried =MIN(<>0,Data!I5) but got an error.

Thanks

One way (array-entered: CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER or CMD-RETURN):

=MIN(IF(A1:A100<>0,A1:A100))

Array entered - meaning Ctrl_Shift-Enter

=MIN(IF((A1:A7)>0,A1:A7))
