Minifs function

Is there a function that will behave as a "Minifs" function? I need to cross reference a column on another sheet and return the minimum value based on a matching criteria.

    You can combine COLLECT (to evaluate your matching criteria) with MIN to get your desired result.

    =MIN(COLLECT({the range to collect and evaluate MIN}, {criterion range 1}, criterion1, {criterion range 2}, criterion2…))

    See more about COLLECT here; there are examples of this application on the page:

    Good luck!
