    Find Min Value omitting blanks or zeros

    I need a formula to find a minimum value in a range of cells in a single column. While I know the generic MIN and SMALL functions, they aren't working in my spreadsheet and I am guessing it is because the cells that are being evaluated contain formulas.

    I am attaching a scaled down sample - if anyone can help I'd appreciate it!

    Thank you!!!

    Try:

    =MIN(IF(G4:G11>0,G4:G11))

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    In G4 and down,

    =IF(COUNT(D4:F4), SUM(D4:F4), "")

    In H4 and down,

    =G4=MIN($G$4:$G$11)

    ... or perhaps instead,

    =IF(G4=MIN($G$4:$G$11), "Min!", "")
