Usage notes 
The MIN function can be used to return the smallest value from a set of data. For example, the fastest time in a race, the lowest temperature, or the smallest sales number. Arguments can be provided as constants, or as cell references or ranges, for example:


=MIN(5,10)
=MIN(A1,A2,A3)
-MIN(A1:A10)

5. COUNTIF FUNCTION ()

COUNTIF is a function to count cells that meet a single criteria. COUNTIF can be used to count cells with dates, numbers, and text that match specific criteria. The COUNTIF function supports logical operators (>,<,<>,=) and wildcards (*,?) for partial matching.
Purpose 
Count cells that match criteria
Return value 
A number representing cells counted.
Syntax 
=COUNTIF (range, criteria)
Arguments 
  • range - The range of cells to count.
  • criteria - The criteria that controls which cells should be counted.
Usage notes 
The COUNTIF function in Excel counts the number of cells in a range that match the supplied criteria
Non-numeric criteria needs to be enclosed in double quotes but numeric criteria does not:


=COUNTIF(A1:A10,100) // count cells equal to 100
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,">32") // count cells greater than 32
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"jim") // count cells equal to "jim"
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<"&B1) // count cells less than value in B1
The wildcard characters ? and * can be used in criteria. A question mark matches any one character and an asterisk matches any sequence of characters.
To find a literal question mark or asterisk, use a tilde (~) in front question mark or asterisk (i.e. ~?, ~*).
