I have a group # in column A. In column G, for each group, I want to take
value in column F - Less the minimum for group. I can get this far, in some
cases I don't have a value in column F, I have a text entry. I want those
entries ignored for the minimum calculation.

The MIN function already ignores text values...

If you enter the argument as a range, MIN will ignore text

Hi,

Not sure I understand but perhaps something like this:

=IF(ISTEXT(F1),"",F1-MIN(IF($A$1:$A$10=A1,$F$1:$F$10)))
enter using Ctrl+Shift+Enter then copy down

Formula in G currently is =F2-MIN(IF(A2:A47=Table3[[#This
Row],[Group]],F2:F47))

Hi,

This should do:

=IF(ISTEXT(F2),F2,F2-MIN(IF($A$2:$A$47=A2,$F$2:$F$47)))
enter using Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Note: if you don't make your ranges absolute it will give false results like
in your sample data. The values in the last column are the results of my
formula.
