    Finding the minimal value in a referenced range

    Problem:
    Column D contains a list of numbers.
    How could we find the minimum value in the range between row 12 (first value in the list) and each row number specified in column G?

    Solution:
    Using the MIN and INDIRECT functions, as follows:
    =MIN(INDIRECT(\"\"$A$2:A\"\"&B2))

    List1___Row Number
    100_____17
    70______16
    400_____15
    30______14
    250_____13
    2_______12

    You can get the same result with this, therefore eliminating column B

    =MIN(INDIRECT("$A$2:A"&ROW())) and for the MAX

    =MAX(INDIRECT("$A$2:A"&ROW()))
