Finding the minimum number greater than zero in an array

Hi All,
I have an Array (Attached). I need to find the minimum number that is NOT zero.
Using the Array Max & Min returns 0 as the min. What I want is the next minimum number.
Thank you.

Do you also need the position of the found element? What if several numbers have the same minimum value?
If you just want the value of the smallest nonzero element, here's what I would do. All you neet to do is retain is a single number.
This assumes that your zeroes are really zero. With DBL you never know.

Minimum in range greater than zero

I'm trying to find the minimum number in a row but I want to find a number greater than zero as the minimum not the zeros .

Badunit's remark that "Your numbers must all be >=0" led me to check all three suggestions against this possiblity. Here are the results for two data sets, one containing text, blank and negative values, the second containing only positve numbers, zero, and a blank cell.
As you can see, my procedure includes both positive and negative values, and eliminates only the zeros from contention. If your data will include negative values, and you do NOT wish to include them, they may be easily stripped from the data when it is transfered the the Aux column, in the same manner as the zeroes have been.
Stripping all values less than or equal to zero requies a minor edit of the formula in the AUX column:
Original: =IF(B=0,"",B)
Revised: =IF(B<=0,"",B)
Jerry's formula requires that it be placed into a Footer row (or a Header row) IF it is to be placed on the Data table and to use the table name ("Data") as the first argument for INDEX. INDEX ignores Header and Footer rows in arguments specifying a whole column (or a whole table).
As can be seen in column B, this formula will be thrown off (as BU has warned) by the inclusion of negative values. A revision similar to the one shown in my formula above will remove the requirement to not include negative values:
Original: =SMALL(B,COUNTIF(B,0)+1)
Revised: =SMALL(B,COUNTIF(B,"<=0")+1)
As revised, the formula will return the smallest positive value in the data list.
Badunit's formula will also show a warning triangle if there is an empty cell or a cell containing text in the data list. Annoying, but it does not affect the results. The warning is that "The formula refers to cells without numbers,"

How to prevent numericstepper from setting the value to the defined Maximum when a number greater than maximum is entered in by keyboard and user hits the "Enter" key.

I need to set the Maximum so that the use can use the mouse to change the value of numericstepper (and not go over a certain number), but at the same time I have to allow the user to enter their value by typing in the text field. When the user enters a number greater than the Maximum, I disable the "Ok" button of the dialog and show a red warning(error message). The issue is that the user can hit "Enter" and numeric stepper would set the value to the Maximum and the dialog box would close and the rest of code would run. I want the numericstepper not to change the value and keep showing the warning even if the user hits the "Enter".
Note: Setting maxChar does not help since my maximum is 1000, and user might enter 5555
I would appreciate the help.

Thanks for trying to help, But
The issue is that if I set the maximum value of stepper 1 greater than the max value that I want, then the user can select an invalid value(of myMax + 1) when he clicks on the UP arrow of the numeric stepper(which is not acceptable for what I am working on).
I need to preserve the users invalid number, while not letting the user to select an invalid number by clicking UP key.
I noticed that when the user enters a number greater than the Maximum, and then click on the down arrow, it would set the value to 1 less than the maximum. This is not acceptable either.

IMAQ Vision: (Hex 0xBFF60488) Minimum coverage value should be greater than zero.

Having some trouble with extended acquisition of a Mightex USB camera using LabVIEW 8.5. LabVIEW is able to acquire images from this camera using IMAQ USB, a snap every ~30 seconds. After about 1100 snaps LabVIEW errors out: IMAQ Vision: (Hex 0xBFF60488) Minimum coverage value should be greater than zero.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bar charts- can bar start at a point greater than zero?

I would like to create a bar chart where data for each category covers a range. Is there a way in Numbers to start a bar chart at a value greater than zero and extend for a defined amount? For example, start the bar at 70 and stop at 200?
I can do this in Excel, but haven't found a way to do it in Numbers yet. Any ideas?

Yes. Select the chart by clicking anywhere on it. Then click on the Inspector icon in the Tool Bar. In the Inspector pane which opens, click on the Chart symbol in the row of icons across the top of the pane; the Inspector pane changes to show Chart properties. Look down the pane until you see Value Axis Format which shows 3 white boxes. In the first box, type the value you want your chart Value axis (the chart vertical axis) to start at. In the second box, type the value you want for its upper limit, and in the third box, type the number of steps you want displayed on your axis. E.g. Minimum = 200, Maximum = 800, Steps = 3 will give a chart axis which starts at 200 (a supressed zero), ends at 800, and shows 3 values (400, 600 & 800) in addition to the base value of 200.
Hope this helps,

Finding the minimum with a for statement

Ok so Ive got this program and I need to find the minimum value from the 10 values that are entered by a user, my problem is I cant figure out to initialize the variable minNum, Im not sure how to do it with a for loop, if I set it to zero, then zero will always be the minimum, so Im not sure how to make it so it takes the first value as the minimum then compares each value entered after that to see if the value is smaller, and I have to use a for loop for this problem, my professor specified which loop to use, so heres the code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Exercise52Chapt6
public static void main(String[] args)
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
              int minNum; // stores the minimum of 10 numbers
                       int number; // stores the current input
                       for ( int i = 1; i <= 10; i++ )
                System.out.print( "Enter an integer > " );
                               number = scan.nextInt( );
                    if(number < minNum)
                    minNum = number;
          // process results by printing the minimum
          System.out.println( "The minimum is: " + minNum );
}

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
                Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
                    int minNum=0; // stores the minimum of 10 numbers
                      int number; // stores the current input
                      for ( int i = 1; i <= 10; i++ )
                        System.out.print( "Enter an integer > " );
                            number = scan.nextInt( );
                            if(i==1){
                                minNum = number;
                                continue;
                            if(number < minNum)
                                minNum = number;
                // process results by printing the minimum
                System.out.println( "The minimum is: " + minNum );

HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product." I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is? They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about. Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean. Does it mean your desktop computer? If so, which one? Do they mean your device? LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever? Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices? If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not. I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5? We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id. He may have been using mine, since his computer died. I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5. Do they, then?
Help! I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number. I doubt they would help me anyway. In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it. Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

How do I find the serial number of my stolen macbook?

I recently had stolen my macbook, macbook pro and iphone....and other than retrieving the MEID number of my Iphone, I did not have the serial numbers of the macbooks listed anywhere and I also bought these used online so I did not have a receipt with the serial number either. I did not have an icloud, any retrieving software, nor itunes. I did though bring them into the apple store after buying them and had them cleared for my own use and also listed them as devices on my apple account. After discussing this matter with apple and checking my devices, it came to our attention that my device list had fell off my account due to the person who stole them had cleared them with apple, which automatically puts the macbook devices onto a new account. Does anyone have any ideas? I need the serial numbers for the police report.

My ipod touch will not turn on or charge, and there is NO WAY to find the serial number to sort it out

Does anybody know what I can do in this situation?
I've had the ipod touch for over 3 years, was given as a gift, has never been badly damaged or anything.
It just won't charge at all - I have tried leaving it plugged into the computer for hours, trying different cables. I left it plugged into the wall overnight, and still the dead battery icon is the only thing that comes up.
I have tried resetting and restarting it but nothing's happened. I've tried contacting Apple for support but they can't do anything without my serial number - which is too faded on the back of the product to make out. Obviously I can't find the serial number on the device as it won't turn on, I don't have any packaging for it left, and it won't connect to iTunes either. I've also looked at my devices in iTunes to try find it but it's not there.
Basically, I've tried pretty much everything the internet has suggested and it's not getting me anywhere.
I have no idea why this is happening and right now I'm at a deadend so please let me know if you have any further advice you can offer. Thank you!

Finding the Serial Number for AppleCare Protection Plan

I am trying to register my Laptop to the Protection Plan, but I can`t find the serial number. When I do, do I type everything? I thought I found it, but they say its not valid. Can someone please give me an example to me? Thank you very much!!

It is unlikely that the Serial appearing in System Preferences is wrong. Could I suggest you make absolutely certain that you are quoting it correctly.
Could I also suggest that you make the registration and buy the Apple Care by phone. You may have to actually transmit the money other than by quoting a card number. In any case you have a human to keep you right on the serial. The first step is to make sure that the serial is correct.
You can print out Sys Prefs. However it is a big file especially the section on the Applications and Extensions. I would suggest you display the first section with the serial> select the text>copy text to clipboard> paste into a fresh Text Edit document. You can then print that out to post to Apple if need be, send it by email or whatever.
