Earliest Child Date when first cell is blank

I am trying to pull the earliest start date from the Child rows into the Parent row.

=MIN(CHILDREN([PWD Start - Days Remaining (Σ)]@row))

I thought this was working until I had no date in the first child row rather than a date.

If there is "No Start Date" in other cell accept the first one, formula seems to be working.

I tried to incorporate a COLLECT into the formula but can't seem to get the format correct.

Please see attached screenshots.

    Hi @cindyalexander

    I am not able to replicate the issue you have displayed. Maybe there's a child linked to the parent with no days. Here are the screenshots from my test

    Both the formulas below give the result

    Thanks,

  • Thank you very much for attempting to replicate my error.

    I will attempt again to see if there is some other other data influencing the formula to not always report as expected.
