    Using Min function with cells in a Row returns incorrect result.

    I have some values in a row like (A5:G5)
    0.0035,0.0038,0.0029,0.0038,0.0022,0.0038,0.0038.
    In cell A8 I have formula =Min(A5:G5) and it gives me values 0.0038 instead
    of 0.0022.
    I am using Excel 2003.
    I have tried checking the format of the cells copying psting to a new work
    boomas values but no help
    In have even tried =Min(Transpose(A5:G5)) but no help.

    Try this

    Format an empty cell as number (just to be sure) and enter the number 1
    Edit>Copy
    Select your data, Edit>Paste Special, check multiply
