    small function

    Im not sure if the small function is what i want to use for figure out the data im looking for.

    Im doing some calculations where im adding a series of numbers and getting the sum of those numbers in cells h6, h7 and h8. my goal is to find out the smallest numer of the three cells after dividing them by differant numbers

    h7=1,308,168
    h8=691,104
    m14= (answer im looking for)

So the smallest answer would be 218.028 (h7/20,000) which is what im trying to get put into cell M14. The numbers im using to divide changes and my results will not always be the h8 cell being the smallest, so i cant just divide that into the result. Im sure i can always do the division first and then find the smallest number by doing 2 differant functions, but im trying to eliminate the extra cells being used. My knowledge is small on the subject but i was trying to use something along the line of

    min function

    Use the min function:

    =min((h6/1000),(h7/6000),(h8/2000))

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
