I am using the following formula: =MIN(IF(A1:A5>B1,A1:A5)) use Ctrl-Shift-Enter My value for B1 is 10 and my array is {1,5,4,2,7} so in this case no value is greater than 10. The problem is that excel returns 0 as the result of the empty set which is a problem as 0 is not greater than 10. In this case, I can test if the result 0 is greater than 10 and see that the result is invalid, however, if B1 is -10 for an array of {-15,-24,-11,-37-60} than the 0 seems like a valid value when no correct value exists.I am using the following formula: =MIN(IF(A1:A5
