    Formula work when i use Subtotal(5, but wont work when i use Min. Y? WHats the difference?

    I have a sample data attached. I use formula to count the no of times each column appear as the smallest with its row. Example A1:C1.

    I manage to get the formula in A8:C8 using sumproduct and subtotal. However, i tried to change the subtotal to Min and it wont work. Why is it so? Aint they suppose to be the same????

    Sorry, I really dont understand what that formula is supposed to be doing?
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A6=SUBTOTAL(5,OFFSET($A$1,ROW(A1:A6)-ROW(A1),,1,3))))
    What does 2 (or 1 or 3) represent?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Hi, its suppose to count how many times the column is the MIN within the row of 3. I have put conditional formatting to highlight the Lowest within the Row (example, A1 has value of 104 and is the min in A1:C1.
    Hence the 2 you see in A8 is A1 and A6 where they are the min. The 1 in B8 come from B2. The 3 in C8 come from C3, C4 and C5.
