Where:
Explanation: The function scans through all values in the dataset and returns the smallest one.
Details: Identifying the minimum value is fundamental in data analysis, helping understand data range, detect outliers, and establish baselines.

Q1: What if my dataset contains non-numeric values?
A: The calculator will automatically ignore any non-numeric values in your dataset.
Q2: How many values can I input?
A: There's no strict limit, but extremely large datasets may take longer to process.
Q3: What's the difference between minimum and maximum?
A: Minimum finds the smallest value, while maximum finds the largest value in a dataset.
Q4: Can I use this for negative numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator works with both positive and negative numbers.
Q5: What if all my values are equal?
A: The minimum value will be equal to all other values in the dataset.
