MINA Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Finding the smallest value including text and logicals for broader lows
Understanding the MINA Formula
The MINA function in Excel finds the smallest value in a range, counting text as 0 and logical values (TRUE/FALSE) as 1/0. It’s a wider lens than MIN, capturing lows in mixed data—like scores with flags.
MINA(A1:A5) with 10, 'text', FALSE, , 5 returns 0 (text and FALSE as 0). It’s inclusive, making it handy when non-numeric entries need factoring into the minimum.
Why Use MINA?
MINA covers all bases—think mixed datasets or status checks. Its broader scope ensures you’re not missing lows hidden in diverse entries, offering a complete minimum view.
Example with Sample Data
Values | Formula | Result |
---|---|---|
10, 'text', FALSE | =MINA(A1:A3) | 0 |
5, TRUE, 15 | =MINA(A1:A3) | 1 |
-1, 'abc', 3 | =MINA(A1:A3) | -1 |
MINA digs deep: 0 from text/FALSE, -1 beats text (0). It’s an all-in minimizer.
