Hi, is there an easy way to find the non zero minimum in a matrix?

Or is a loop the only way to do it?

This is what i have at the moment.

Maybe a user defined function could work for you.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I realized that I needed to have a tolerance in there as some of my values were very close to zero. So I went for this:

Hi Oliver,

Is b guaranteed to be  non zero or an in-tolerance X to never be negative?

Yes for this particular task it wont ever be negative or exactly zero.
