I need a formula to show the lowest figure, but not 0 in an excel spreadsheet.

Can anyone help???!!
 
Do you want the minimum number in a range excluding zero?

If yes then copy this in a cell
=MIN(IF(A1:A100=0,"",A1:A100))
and press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER

Adjust 100 to the last row in your data set.
 
To exclude 0's and negatives, you could try:

=Small(A1:A50,1+Countif(A1:A50,0))

So smallest positive? That'd mean > 0, but your subject line says > 1.

This can be done in general without array formulas as

=SMALL(range,COUNTIF(range,"<="&x)+1)

which returns the smallest value in range greater than x. That said,
the array formula

=MIN(IF(range>x,range))

is more efficient - faster recalc, uses fewer resources.
