The Excel Dmin function determines the smallest value in a field (column) in a database for a subset of the entries. A collection of one or more user-specified criteria defines the records to be included in the computation.
Syntax :
=DMIN ( database, field, criteria )
Parameters :
Database :
Field :
Criterion :
E.g. :
Quarter | Area |
>1 | North |
Example :
If we wanted to discover the lowest Science score from pupils above the age of eight in the sample database, we could use the Dmin function, as shown below. The conditions are stated in cells G1 – H2 in the example, and the Dmin formula is shown in cell G3: The Dmin function above computes the minimum value in fields E10 and E13 and so returns the value 48 percent. It’s worth noting that, in the preceding function, instead of putting “Score,” we might have just used the number 5.
