    Is it possible to find the min of the last few digits of a range.

    Hi,

    I have a row of values, where any number below a certain threshold would be displayed as the value preceded by the word "Stop"

    e.g. For a threshold of -7.00%:

    2.89%, 1.58%, 10.99%, -4.09%, -6.84%, Stop -7.81%, -2.28%

    I need to calculate the minimum value (i.e. -7.81%) and have tried to combine the min and right functions, but to no avail.

    Is there a way to achieve this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Does the minimum value alway combine with the string "Stop"?

    Sorry, I meant to say anything less than -7% will.

    =MIN(INDEX(--SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A1:G1),"STOP",""),0)) should do it

    Here's another one...

    Array entered**:

    =MIN(--SUBSTITUTE(A2:G2,"Stop",""))

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Assumes no empty cells within the range.
