    Min with Multiple criteria in different column(not array Formula)

    Hi,

    I am looking for a NON ARRAY forumula that finds a min value in a column with criteria in other columns.

    A similar thread is below but it is with a array formula. I cannot have array formula because i have thousands of rows.

    Thanks
    Paul

    Perhaps using helper(s) columns.

    Can you upload a sample workbook?

    Re: Min with Multiple criteria in different column(not array Formula)

    The way that i was thinking it's difficult to work as you use date and time format.

    What i mean is that my thought was to use concatenate function and then not array formula. But in this case
    Does not work.

    So, as i don;t like to wait for my reply, i reply to you but without solution. Sorry.

    Maybe my tests in your workbook will give some ideas to you. That;s why i send it to you.

    No solution. Just ideas and efforts.
