If I understand what you are trying to do. I put this data in Column A and Column B.
COLA COLB A 7 G 87 T 1 A 1 G 6 T 7 A 43 G 3 T 2 I put the criteria in G1 and G2 COLA A Then used the formula to get the value. =DMIN(A1:B10,"COLB",G1:G2) That just does it for A, but you could easily setup other criteria to get the values for the tother letters.
