# MINA

## Content

This function returns the minimum value in a list of arguments, including text and logical values.

## Syntax

`MINA(value1, value2, ...)`

`MINA(array)`

`MINA(array1, array2, ...)`

## Arguments

Each argument can be a double-precision floating point value, an integer value, text, logical value, or an array of these. Up to 255 arguments may be included. You can use a single array (cell range) instead of a list of values. You can use multiple arrays (cell ranges) as well.

## Remarks

This function differs from [MIN](/spreadjs/docs/v17/formulareference/FormulaFunctions/statistical-functions/MIN) because it includes text and logical values as well as numeric values.

## Data Types

Accepts numeric, text, or logical data for all arguments. Returns numeric data.

## Examples

`MINA(A3,B5,C1,D4,E7)`

`MINA(A1:A9)`

`MINA(R1C2,R3C5,R4C7,R6C7)`

`MINA(A1,B1)` gives the result 0 if A1 is 10 and B1 is FALSE
