ktaylor wanted a formula method for finding the oldest (lowest) date out of a list of dates in a column.

Egad suggested the following solution providing the date range was in cells A1:A30
 
=SMALL(A1:A30,1)             will return the smallest (oldest) date or number.
=SMALL(A1:A30,2)             will find the second smallest�.and so on
 
Epidemic suggested using one of the MIN MAX and MEDIAN functions.
 
An example would be
 
=MIN(A1:A30)
