This FAQ covers 3 common question groups about MIN in WPS on Windows, including incorrect results, formula errors, and applying the function to multiple cells.
FAQ
What should I check first if the MIN function returns the wrong result?
- Check whether the referenced cell range in the formula is correct.
- Confirm that the cells used in the calculation contain numeric values.
- If the data includes text, spaces, or unexpected characters, clean the data and calculate again.
What should I do if I get an error after entering the MIN function?
- Make sure the function name is entered as
MINand that the parentheses are complete. - Check whether the separators and entered content match the formula format you are using.
- Try inserting the function again through the Insert Function dialog and confirm the parameters before clicking OK.
How do I apply the MIN function to multiple cells?
- Enter the correct MIN formula in the first target cell.
- Select that cell and move the pointer to the fill handle in the lower-right corner.
- Drag down or across to copy the formula to other target cells.
- After copying, check whether the relative references behave as expected, and use absolute references if needed.
