That formula worked. Thank you. But now I have to complete this formula
only if a certain cell is filled out. How would I do that.

The formula I posted checks if the cell (X18) is not blank, if not blank it
will return the MIN formula if blank it will return blank. What does X18
contain? Check with

=LEN(X18)
