    finding oldest real date in a date range

    Hi All,

    I'm using a MIN formula to find the oldest date in a date range, but I'd like it to ignore "01/01/1900 00:00" and pick the oldest proper date.

    The formula I'm using now is =MIN(Sheet1!k2:K10000)

    Thanks
    Jake

    Modify the formula as following:

    =MIN(IF(Sheet1!K2:K10000>1,Sheet1!K2:K10000))

    array entered, to be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
