    minimum sum value excluding value 0

    Good evening,
    as the title suggests, I need to find in a sum,
    the minimum value other than 0.
    In the attached file in column M I report the minimum values of the sums of various columns.
    in cell M2 it gives me the minimum value which is 0
    but, excluding 0, it should be 45.58

    Thanks

    Please try
    =AGGREGATE(15;6;1/(1/SUMIFS(F2:K2,F$1:K$1,{"A";"B";"C"}));1)

    or
    =AGGREGATE(15;6;1/(1/CHOOSE({1;2;3};F2+G2;H2+I2;J2+K2));1)

    Re: minimum sum value excluding value 0

    ummmm...your current formula is looking at the entire horizontal range in row 2. the val you want is in cell h6 and sums 2 vals that are unrelated to your current function. try this is cell m2 and see if it gives you a boost and/or insight into what you want:

    Re: minimum sum value excluding value 0

    ok this is okay
    =AGGREGATE(15;6;1/(1/CHOOSE({1;2;3};F2+G2;H2+I2;J2+K2));1)

    one last thing
    wanting to color the two cells that correspond to the minimum
    how to set the formula in conditional formatting?

    Thanks

    Re: minimum sum value excluding value 0

    Please try CF formula applies to F6:K8

    =F6=$M2


    or CF formula applies to F2:K4

    =SUMIFS($F2:$K2,$F$1:$K$1,F$1)=$M2

    Sorry, I'm the one who didn't explain myself well.
    I would like it on F2: K4
    the sum of 2 cells = M2

    I did 3
    ...
    = $ H2 + $ I2 = $ M2
    It applies to:
    = $ H $ 2: $ I $ 4
    ...
    you can give it unique

    Someone has to suggest brute force with array formulas.

    M2:

    Fill M2 down as far as needed. Enter array formulas by holding down [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys before pressing [Enter].

    The array in the formula above could be generated by

    so that if you wanted sums of 3 columns it'd change to

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    or if you wanted the sums of 5 columns from F2:Y2, it'd change to

    The number of adjacent columns to sum (n) become the divisor inside the INT call, and the ending array are sequential integers from 0 to the total number of columns divided by n less 1.
