0 -> maeín ifs is another statistical
2.25 -> function that has been introduced in
4.14 -> Excel 2019 and office 365 the main tips
8.88 -> function allows you to find the smallest
10.74 -> value in a range after applying one or
13.71 -> more criteria so let's get started here
16.859 -> we have a table of data that consists of
19.65 -> golf team player and score columns for
23.64 -> our first example let's find the minimum
25.59 -> score for group a we'll begin by
28.74 -> entering the min ifs command as you can
31.859 -> see the minion takes a number of
34.11 -> parameters the first parameter is the
37.23 -> range of cells that contains the
39.12 -> smallest or minimum value in this
42.51 -> example we'll use range c2 to c9 which
45.84 -> is our score column since we want to
48.3 -> find the minimum score the second
51.27 -> parameter is the range of cells to apply
53.25 -> your criteria against in this example
56.34 -> we'll enter the range a two to a nine
58.739 -> this is the range of cells that will
61.35 -> test to see if they meet our criteria
63.53 -> the third parameter is the criteria that
66.42 -> will be applied against the range a two
68.31 -> to a nine in our example will enter
71.67 -> Group A in quotes the bin if function
74.7 -> will test each value in the range A two
76.77 -> to a nine to see if the golf team is
79.56 -> Group A since we only want to apply one
82.409 -> criteria these are all the parameters
84.75 -> that we need so let's see what the
86.58 -> ministry turns
89.92 -> you should see the value 69 appear this
93.79 -> is a smallest score for Group A
97.25 -> now let's see how to apply two criteria
100.04 -> using the manip function so for this
102.98 -> example let's find the minimum score for
105.44 -> Group B where the score is greater than
107.63 -> zero again we will enter the minutes
110.36 -> command and start with the same first
112.52 -> two parameters that we entered in the
114.2 -> first example by entering the range c2
117.41 -> to c9 as the first parameter and a2 to a
121.73 -> nine as the second parameter this time
124.91 -> we will enter Group B in quotes as the
127.19 -> third parameter now it's time to apply
129.8 -> our second criteria by entering two more
132.41 -> parameters since we only want to include
135.35 -> scores that are greater than zero we
137.959 -> will enter the range c2 to c9 as the
140.99 -> fourth parameter which contains our
143.209 -> score values and greater than zero as
146.36 -> the final parameter the meanness
148.88 -> function will test each value in the
150.77 -> range c2 to c9 to see if it is greater
153.77 -> than zero now let's see what this
156.35 -> formula returns you should see the value
159.08 -> 75 appear as the result in this example
162.44 -> only the minimum score is included in
164.72 -> the calculations if both the golf team
167.06 -> is Group B and the score is greater than
169.519 -> zero so only these cells matched giving
173.57 -> us 75 as the smallest value finally
177.44 -> let's see how to use wildcards in the
179.48 -> minutes function in Excel there are two
182.269 -> different wildcard characters the
184.489 -> asterisk and the question mark the
187.37 -> asterisks allows you to match any string
190.04 -> of any length whereas the question mark
192.89 -> allows you to match only on a single
194.989 -> character let's use the asterisk
197.63 -> wildcard to find the minimum score for
200.299 -> all golfers whose name starts with the
202.4 -> letter S such as Sarah and Samantha so
206.09 -> again we will start with the minutes
207.53 -> function and enter the range c2 to c9 as
211.19 -> the first parameter then we will enter
213.62 -> the range b2 to b9 as the second
216.26 -> parameter which contains our player
218.09 -> names finally we will enter s asterisk
221.66 -> as the third parameter since we were
223.97 -> only looking at names to start with the
225.62 -> letter S now let's see what results we
228.17 -> get
229.569 -> you should see 78 appear as the result
232.45 -> which is the minimum score for all
234.37 -> players whose name starts with the
236.349 -> letter S so this would include players
238.81 -> such as Sarah and Samantha
241.89 -> and that covers our examples of how to
244.38 -> use excels minutes function if you would
247.2 -> like to see more examples or would like
249.209 -> to download the sample data we use for
251.1 -> this tutorial please visit our website
