Syntax
MIN(column)
column: The data column to consider when calculating the minimum value.
Tip: Returning minimum value across multiple columns is not supported
Sample Usage
MIN(A2:A100,B2:B100,4,26)
MIN(1,2,3,4,5,C6:C20)
Syntax
MIN(value1, [value2, ...])

value1- The first value or range to consider when calculating the minimum value. -
value2, ...- [ OPTIONAL ] - Additional values or ranges to consider when calculating the minimum value.
Notes
-
Although
MINis specified as taking a maximum of 30 arguments, Google Sheets supports an arbitrary number of arguments for this function. -
Each
valueargument must be a cell, a number, or a range containing numbers. Cells without numbers or ranges are ignored. Entering text values will causeMINto return the#VALUE!error. To allow text values, useMINA.
