    Return the min value greater than 0

    I have a column in a sheet, populated from a drop down, that contains time values formated as m:ss.000 some of the values equate to 0 and are causing a problem with my formula. I am using =MIN(AJ:AJ) and it works fine except when a 0 pop up. I need to modify the MIN formula to say "Return the minimum value greater than 0". Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Use Control + Shift + Enter to enter this Array Formula

    =MIN(IFERROR(1/(AJ:AJ<>0)*AJ:AJ,""))

    Maybe something like:

    =SMALL(AJ:AJ,COUNTIF(AJ:AJ,0)+1)

    Re: Return the min value greater than 0

    Here's another one...

    Array entered**:

    =MIN(IF(AJ2:AJ100>0,AJ2:AJ100))

    ** 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.

    You should avoid using entire columns as range references in array formulas. Use smaller specific ranges.
