The MINIFS function in Google Sheets allows you to find the minimum value in a range of data based on multiple criteria. This function is useful when you want to find the smallest value that meets specific conditions. By using MINIFS, you can easily filter and extract the minimum value from a large dataset, saving time and effort. This function takes in multiple criteria as inputs, including ranges and logical operators, to accurately locate the minimum value that meets all specified conditions. It is an efficient tool for data analysis and decision-making in various industries and can be easily accessed in Google Sheets.
MINIFS
Returns the minimum value in a range of cells, filtered by a set of criteria.
Returns the minimum value in a filtered data column, filtered by a set of criteria applied to additional data columns.
Sample Usage
MINIFS(table_name!price, table_name!fruits, ”Apple”, table_name!inventory, ”<30”)
Syntax
MINIFS(column, criteria_column1, criterion1, creteria_column2, criterion2)
column– The data column from which the minimum will be determined.criteria_column1– The data column over which to evaluate `criterion1`.criterion1– The pattern or test to apply to `criteria_column1`, such that each cell that evaluates to `TRUE` will be included in the filtered set.creteria_column2– Additional data columns over which to evaluate the additional criteria. The filtered set will be the intersection of the sets produced by each criterion-column pair.criterion2– The pattern or test to apply to `criteria_column2`.
Sample Usage
MINIFS(A1:A3, B1:B3, 1, C1:C3, “A”)
MINIFS(D4:E5, F4:G5, “>5”, F6:G7, “<10”)
Syntax
MINIFS(range, criteria_range1, criterion1, [criteria_range2, criterion2, …])
range– The range of cells from which the minimum will be determined.criteria_range1– The range of cells over which to evaluatecriterion1.criterion1– The pattern or test to apply tocriteria_range1.criteria_range2, criterion2, ... -Optional: Additional ranges and their associated criteria. Note that filtering will result in the intersection of these.
Notes
MINIFSwill return0if none of the criterion are satisfied.rangeand all of the criterion ranges must be the same size. If they aren’t,MINIFSwill return a#VALUEerror.

MAXIFS:
Returns the maximum value in a range of cells, filtered by a set of criteria.
SUMIFS: Returns the sum of a range depending on multiple criteria.
MIN: Returns the minimum value in a numeric dataset.
Example
| A | B | C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ID | Score | Section |
| 2 | 123 | 30 | B |
| 3 | 102 | 28 | A |
| 4 | 157 | 29 | A |
| 5 | 189 | 19 | B |
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Solution | Formula | |
| 8 | 102 | = MINIFS(A2:A5, B2:B5, “>25”, C2:C5, “A”) | |
| 9 | 123 | = MINIFS(A2:A5, B2:B5, “>25”, C2:C5, “B”) | |
| 10 | 123 | = MINIFS(A2:A5, B2:B5, “<35”, C2:C5, “B”) | |
| 11 | 0 | = MINIFS(A2:A5, B2:B5, “>35”, C2:C5, “B”) | |
