问题
I am using excel's aggregate (small) function to find the smallest value for each name that appears in a column. The issue is that the formula below simply returns 0s everywhere there is a value in B.
The formula I am using is
=IF($B2<>"", AGGREGATE(15,7, ($B:$B)*($A2=$A:$A)*($B2<>""), 1), "")
where B contains the data I want the smallest value from and A contains identifying strings.
I appreciate any help you can lend!

You want to divide by the criteria:
=IF($B2<>"", AGGREGATE(15,7, ($B:$B)/(($A2=$A:$A)*($B:$B<>"")), 1), "")
Whenever ($A2=$A:$A) or ($B2<>"") is FALSE it will return 0 and anything multiplied by 0 is 0 and as such the smallest value is 0.
By dividing by the criteria we throw an #DIV/0 error which the 7 in the AGGREGATE's second criterion forces the formula to ignore and as such we only get the smallest of what returns TRUE or 1 in both Boolean. 1*1=1.
But one more thing. AGGREGATE is an array type formula so limiting the to only the data will speed it up.
=IF($B2<>"", AGGREGATE(15,7, ($B$1:INDEX($B:$B,MATCH("zzz",$A:$A)))/(($A2=$A$1:INDEX($A:$A,MATCH("zzz",$A:$A)))*($B$1:INDEX($B:$B,MATCH("zzz",$A:$A))<>"")), 1), "")
As per your comment:
=IF($B2 = AGGREGATE(15,7, ($B:$B)/(($A2=$A:$A)*($B:$B<>"")), 1),AGGREGATE(15,7, ($B:$B)/(($A2=$A:$A)*($B:$B<>"")), 1), "")
