I am looking for a function that is a lot like SUMIF function but is Min if.
Returns the min in a range by criteria.
Range, Criteria, and Min range
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Aaron,

The following array formula will return the minimum value from C3:C13 where
the corresponding entry in B3:B13 is equal to the value in cell C1.  If the
value in C1 is not found in B3:B13, the result is #N/A.

=IF(COUNTIF(B3:B13,C1)=0,NA(),MIN(IF(B3:B13=C1,C3:C13,FALSE)))

This is an array formula, so you must press CTRL SHIFT ENTER rather than
just ENTER when you first enter the formula and whenever you edit it later.
If you do this properly, Excel will display the formula in the formula bar
enclosed in curly braces { }. See
http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/ArrayFormulas.aspx for more info about array
formulas.

This doesn't work.  The data in the critera range has many of the same and
different values that I need a min against.  The only solution that I have
been able to come up with is a pivot table on Min and then vlookup it back to
the spreadsheet.  That is why I am looking for something in VB.  Example below

example

PN    |QTY| Min
123  |  4   | 2
123  |  5   | 2
123  |  6   | 2
568  |  8   | 8
568  |  9   | 8
238  |  5   | 5
238  |  6   | 5
123  | 2    | 2

Thanks, Aaron

Actually what I posted does in fact work. You didn't post adequate detail.

Hi Chip,
Sorry, I put more detail to better explain the details.
I also found this (Below) but get a #value when it is ran.
What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Public Function MinIf(Ref_Range As Range, Criterion As Variant, Min_Range As
Range) As Single
       Dim cell As Range
       Dim minVal As Single
       Dim iRow As Integer, jCol As Integer, iCount As Integer, jCount As
Integer

       iCount = Ref_Range.Rows.Count
       jCount = Ref_Range.Columns.Count

       minVal = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(Min_Range)

       For iRow = 1 To iCount
           For jCol = 1 To jCount
               If Ref_Range.Cells(iRow, jCol).Value = Criterion Then
                   If Min_Range.Cells(iRow, jCol).Value < minVal Then
                       minVal = Min_Range.Cells(iRow, jCol).Value
                   End If
               End If
           Next
       Next

       MinIf = minVal

End Function

This works if you use a range and not columns (A:A)
Thanks,
Aaron

Perhaps something like:
If(your criteria, Min(A1:P100),"No")
