Return largest Non-zero from a set of values

[jroth]

Hello,

I'm looking to return the smallest non zero value from a vector. The purpose is to 'unnormalize' the eigenvectors so that I can compare to my hand calculations and keep them ordered in a better manner (personal preference).

Attached is the worksheet that I have been working on. The problem is I'm unsure how to return the smallest non zero, as I haven't found the function to return the 2nd smallest or third smallest value.

Maybe the attched file could help.

Thank you, it was just what I was looking for. I was essentially wanting to not display the eigenvectors as decimals, and wanted to convert them back into 'integers' for the most part. (I know this generally doesn't happen, but for my homework and other analysis, it makes it easier to read for me).

I appreciate the quick response.

I had already suspected that it was the goal to obtain integer values​​.
