    Smallest values excluding zero values

    Hi guys,

    I need you help. I am currently trying to get the 5 smallest values from a specific column. The problem is that the column contains positive values, one negative value and a lot of zero values. I tried the SMALL formula and excel returns the negative number and zeros.

    I want to ignore zero values. Can you help me on that issue.
    I highly appreciate it !

    Thanks!

    Re: Smallest values excluding zero values

    Hi

    thanks for your fast reply.

    I don't want to exclude minus figures. I just want to exclude zeros.

    Let me give you an example. List of values: 1,3,5,-2,-6,-2,0,0,0.

    Now I want to get the smallest five excluding zeros. That would be -6,-2,-2,1,3.

    How can I do this?

    Thanks
