MINIFS function

Returns the minimum of the values of cells in a range that meets multiple criteria in multiple ranges.

Sintaxe

MINIFS(Func_Range; Range1; Criterion[; Range2; Criterion2][; … ; [Range127; Criterion127]])

Func_Range – required argument. A range of cells, a name of a named range or a label of a column or a row containing values for calculating the minimum.

Range1 – required argument. It is a range of cells, a name of a named range, or a label of a column or a row, to which the corresponding criterion is to be applied.

Criterion: A criterion is a single cell Reference, Number or Text. It is used in comparisons with cell contents.

A reference to an empty cell is interpreted as the numeric value 0.

A matching expression can be:

A Number or Logical value. A matching cell content equals the Number or Logical value.
A value beginning with a comparator (<, <=, =, >, >=, <>).

For =, if the value is empty it matches empty cells.

For <>, if the value is empty it matches non-empty cells.

For <>, if the value is not empty it matches any cell content except the value, including empty cells.

Note: "=0" does not match empty cells.

For = and <>, if the value is not empty and can not be interpreted as a Number type or one of its subtypes and the property Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells is checked, comparison is against the entire cell contents, if unchecked, comparison is against any subpart of the field that matches the criteria. For = and <>, if the value is not empty and can not be interpreted as a Number type or one of its subtypes applies.
Other Text value. If the property Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells is true, the comparison is against the entire cell contents, if false, comparison is against any subpart of the field that matches the criteria. The expression can contain text, numbers, regular expressions or wildcards (if enabled in calculation options).

Range2 – Optional. Range2 and all the following mean the same as Range1.

Criterion2 – Optional. Criterion2 and all the following mean the same as Criterion.

The search supports wildcards or regular expressions. With regular expressions enabled, you can enter "all.*", for example to find the first location of "all" followed by any characters. If you want to search for a text that is also a regular expression, you must either precede every regular expression metacharacter or operator with a "\" character, or enclose the text into \Q...\E. You can switch the automatic evaluation of wildcards or regular expression on and off in - LibreOffice Calc - Calculate.

Ao empregar funcións nas que un ou máis argumentos sexan criterios de busca que representen unha expresión regular, téntase primeiro converter os criterios da cadea en números. Por exemplo, «.0» convértese en 0.0, etc. Se resulta ben, a busca non será unha coincidencia de expresión regular senón unha coincidencia numérica. Porén, ao traballar cunha configuración rexional na que o separador decimal non sexa o punto, como en galego, o punto fai que funcione a conversión a expresión regular. Para obrigar a que a avaliación sexa dunha expresión regular no canto dunha expresión numérica hai que empregar algunha expresión que non se poda confundir cunha numérica, como «.[0]», «.\0» ou «(?i).0».

Func_Range and Range1, Range2... must have the same size, otherwise the function returns err:502 - Invalid argument.

The logical relation between criteria can be defined as logical AND (conjunction). In other words, if and only if all given criteria are met, a value from the corresponding cell of the given Func_Range is taken into calculation.

The function can have up to 255 arguments, meaning that you can specify 127 criteria ranges and criteria for them.

If a cell contains TRUE, it is treated as 1, if a cell contains FALSE – as 0 (zero).

Exemplo

Consider the following table

	A	B	C
1	Product Name	Sales	Revenue
2	lapis	20	65
3	bolígrafo	35	85
4	caderno	20	190
5	libro	17	180
6	pencil-case	non	non

In all examples below, ranges for calculation contain the row #6, which is ignored because it contains text.

Uso simple

=MINIFS(B2:B6;B2:B6;"<35")

Calculates the minimum of values of the range B2:B6 that are lower than or equal to 20. Returns 17.

=MINIFS(C2:C6;B2:B6;">=20";C2:C6;">90")

Calculates the minimum of values of the range C2:C6 that are lower than 90 and correspond to cells of the B2:B6 range with values greater than or equal to 20. Returns 190.

Using regular expressions and nested functions

=MINIFS(C2:C6;B2:B6;">"&MIN(B2:B6);B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6))

Calculates the minimum of values of the range C2:C6 that correspond to all values of the range B2:B6 except its minimum and maximum. Returns 65.

=MINIFS(C2:C6;A2:A6;".*book";B2:B6;">"&MIN(B2:B6))

Calculates the minimum of values of the range C2:C6 that correspond to all cells of the A2:A6 range ending with "book" and to all cells of the B2:B6 range except its minimum. Returns 190.

Reference to a cell as a criterion

If you need to change a criterion easily, you may want to specify it in a separate cell and use a reference to this cell in the condition of the MINIFS function. For example, the above function can be rewritten as follows:

=MINIFS(C2:C6;A2:A6;".*"&E2;B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6))

If E2 = "book", the function returns 180, because the reference to the cell is substituted with its content.
