Can Excel return the earliest date from a list?

[joeb]

I have a list of dates (Date in stock) for three different warehouses across
a row. Is there a formula that can determine the earliest date in stock and
return it at the end of the row?

Dates are simply numbers, so to get the earliest date, just use the Min
function.

Regards,
Fred.

If you have a set of dates in row #1, the earliest date is the smallest date.
In cell IV1 enter:

=MIN(A1:IU1)
