    Question returning lowest amount not equal to zero in range

    Hello,
    I have 3 columns in a range and need to return to another cell on each row the lowest number not equal to zero. at least one number on each row is zero and a lot have two zeroes. The problem is using =small(j3:l3,2) returns a zero in the cases where two cells in the range equal 0.

    Please advise the formula to return the smallest number not equal to zero.

    sample data

    j K L
    $57.87 0 0
    $151.50 0 0
    $ 0 1.35 1.09
    $ 0 80.64 75.00

    Thank you
