    Is there a pattern to the non-contiguous cells?

    Is there anything between the cells?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Hi

    will work if cells are contiguous - can you arrange your data so that it is?

    Minimum Solved

    Thanks. Data was in noncontiguous cells...I tried and this seemed to help get me closer
    =SMALL((A1,C1,E1),1+frequency((A1,C1,E1),0))

    I get an error message when cells are empty but I'm much happier now. get some kinda NUM! error when everything empty.
