Default Set value from comparison of other cell values?

I've just hit a minor problem with Excel - or should I say with my
understanding.

I'm trying to set up a spread sheet to calculate tax rules which are
fairly complex.

What I want to say is something like "Set C3 to the lowest of B1, B2 and
B3"
[Basically making a decision based on a range of values.]

My first tentative investigations haven't shown any obvious syntax.

It looks as though it should be easy; is it?

Cheers

Dave R

try:

=MIN(B1:B3)
