[Guest]

Hello,

If I have a list of numbers in colum "A".

A1: 10
A2: 20
A3: 00
A4: 15
A5: 50

An I want to see in cell C2 what is the lowest number in colum that is above
0 (in this case, it would be "10"). What do I need to put in cell C2???

Thanks!!!

when I copy/paste the formula "=SMALL(A1:A5,COUNTIF(A1:A5,0)+1)" in cell C2,
I get the following error messgae:

=========================
The formula you typed contains an error.

- For information about fixing common formula problems, click Help.
- To get assistance in entering a function, click OK, then Function on the
Insert menu.
- If you are not trying to enter a formula, avoid using an equal sign (=) or
minus sign (-), or precede it with a single quotations mark(').
=========================

If I then click on OK, "A5,COUNTIF" is highlited as if something was wrong
there...

I figured out the problem... between A5 and COUNTIF, I need to put ";" and
not ",". Same thing between A5 and 0.

Did it have the inverted commas or was that a typo.
If it did, take them out !!

Mangesh,
Boy that could get confusing. I wonder if that's why some of th
code/formulas i find, won't work, when other people say they do work.

So are there other differences besides the "," and ";' ??

And so there are different Versions of Excel for different countries?
Like an excel 2000 for one country and a different version of excel
2000 for another??

This sounds like a Yogi Berra thing. he he he

Thx for your info
Dav
