MIN
Use this function to determine the minimum value of a list or collection.
The MIN function has two syntax forms: the collection form and the list form. You can use the collection form to determine the minimum value of all occurrences of an attribute. The list form is used to determine the minimum value of a set of different attributes.
1. Collection form syntax
MIN ( attribute )
Input
- attribute - An attribute of any type of integer, number, date or string of which multiple instances can occur at runtime.
2. List form syntax
MIN ( [ value1 , value2 , ... ] )
Input
