Key takeaways

• The MIN function in Excel returns the smallest number in a set of values.
• The function ignores logical values and text when determining the minimum.
• The primary parameter for the MIN function is a data range, but individual cells or a combination of ranges and cells can also be used, separated by commas.
• While seemingly simple, the MIN function is valuable when used within larger formulas or calculations.
• The next tutorial will cover the MINIFS function, which finds the minimum value based on specific conditions.
