Oldest date in a column
I'm trying to do a Sheet Summary formula to give me the date of the oldest call on a service sheet. I am trying to use =MIN(Date Entered) Also tried =MIN([Date Entered]). Nothing is working. The formula seems simple but nothing I am doing works.

Your summary field must also be a Date field:

You need to give the function a column range to work with, not just the column name.
=MIN([Date Entered]:[Date Entered])
Make sure your "Date Entered" column is formatted as a date-type column. If there's a date value in it, it needs to be a date-type column to use the MIN/MAX functions on it.

I had tried that before as well but it didn't work. Here is what I have currently.
=MIN([Date Entered]:[Date Entered])
