Thread: Min/Max formulas using cells with date format

Using a min or max formula for a range of cells that have a date format. For
example, while in F4, i create the following formula =MIN(F5:F9). If all of
the cells in the range are null, the result is 00-Jan-1900. This date
appears to be the cell default value if nothing is entered.

Is it possible to exclude null cells in the formula?

Thanks
Will

One way:

=IF(COUNT(F5:F9)=0,"",MIN(F5:F9))
