Excel Tutorial – MINIFS

The MINIFS function in Microsoft Excel is a function that returns the minimum value from a range of cells based on multiple criteria. It allows you to find the minimum value of cells that meet specific criteria, rather than the minimum value of all cells in a range.

To use the MINIFS function, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Excel and select the cell where you want the minimum value to appear.
2. Type the following formula into the cell: =MINIFS(range, criteria1, criteria2, …)
3. Replace “range” with the range of cells that you want to find the minimum value in.
4. Replace “criteria1”, “criteria2”, etc. with the criteria that cells must meet in order to be considered for the minimum value. For example, to find the minimum value in cells A1:A10 that are greater than 5, you would type: =MINIFS(A1:A10, A1:A10, “>5”).
5. Press Enter to see the result.

The MINIFS function is very useful for analyzing data and finding the minimum value of specific cells based on multiple criteria. It can save you time and effort by allowing you to easily find the minimum value of cells that meet specific conditions.
