Can't find the min of a lookup reference

[jaret1976]

I have an array of cells in one sheet, which I am trying to find the
minimum value, based on a condition.

Example:
Sheet: Data Sheet
Floor SquareFeet
1 500
1 550
1 425
2 345
2 370
3 500
4 400

Sheet: Summary Sheet
Floor 1 Min. Sq.Ft
1 425
2 345
etc

I need to be able to sort the data sheet on various other criteria, so
the value that the summary sheet retrieves needs to be dynamic. If
anyone could help me on this, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Try something like

=MIN(IF(A1:A100=1,B1:B100))

confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

This works perfect. I had this equation long into my trial and error,
but had an issue because of the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. What exactly does
that confirmation do? I guess I never came across the issue, but until
I did this, my results were flawed.

Thanks a ton!

CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER is required for what are sometimes known as "array formulas" see here for some more detail
