    Picking more than one minimum value from a column

    I have 45 columns, each of which have 45 individual cells/items. From each column I need to pick the 5 minimum values to export to another sheet. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks!

    You can use the SMALL() function to grab the smallest number from a column, or second smallest, etc.

    =SMALL(A:A, 1)
    =SMALL(A:A, 2)
    ...etc

    If you want a quick way of doing this -
    (I'm assuming your data is in sheet Sheet1, columns A to AS (1 to 45) )

    Select another sheet, and type in cell A1

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    then drag this cell down to A5. Then highlight cells A1:A5 and drag across to AS1:AS5.
