    Need to find lowest date after today's date

    I have series of dates in a row (with some blank cells) and want to return the lowest value, AFTER today's date

    Using the MIN function, I can find the lowest date in the row
    Using the NOW() function, I can find today's date

    I can't figure out how to use either the AND function or an IF statement to return the lowest value after today's date.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Re: Need to find lowest date after today's date

    You can use an array formula like this

    =MIN(IF(A2:Z2>TODAY(),A2:Z2))

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    Re: Need to find lowest date after today's date

    Thanks for the help!

    When I tried that I get the return of 1/0/1900. I've gotten this result a couple different ways and I am not sure how to fix it.

    Thoughts?

    I did press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER after entering the formula

    If you did it properly, you'll see brackets around your formula { } Is that the case?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Yes I see the { }

    The code reads {=MIN(IF(B19:G19>TODAY(),B19:G19))}

    Re: Need to find lowest date after today's date

    That should only return 1/0/1900 if there are no values in B19:G19 > TODAY() Are you sure that your dates are recorded as numbers and not text?

    Re: Need to find lowest date after today's date

    They were indeed formatted as dates. However, I copied and pasted the exact same formula and it worked the second time. Don't know what I did differently.

    Thank you very much for your help!
