In this article, we will learn about how to find the minimum value if it matches multiple conditions in Excel.
Scenario:
When working with long ranges of data, we need to find the minimum value among the range where more than one condition is matching. In simple words finding out the minimum value using Excel IF function. IF function returns True or False and MIN function looks for the minimum value from the corresponding array.
Syntax to find min with multiple criteria
Note: Use Ctrl + Shift + Enter when working with arrays or ranges in Excel. This will generate Curly Braces on the formula by default. DO NOT try to hard code curly braces characters.
Example:
All of these might be confusing to understand. So, let's test this formula via running it on the example shown below. Here we will perform the formula over values with given criteria.
Use the formula:
criteria 1 is price must be from the region "East"
criteria 2 is price where quantity is greater than 50.
Explanation:
{ FALSE ; 303.63 ; 108.46 ; 153.34 ; FALSE ; 95.58 ; 520.01 ; 90.27 ; 177 ; FALSE }
Here we matched the range (B2:B11) with value "East" and quantity (C2:C11) greater than 50, which returns the minimum from the price range (D2:D11). Press Enter to get the minimum of the range
As you can see we have the MIN value, if criteria match from the range of values.
Here are some observational notes using the above formula.
