Select lowest value from 3 columns

[ub67]

Hi,

I am trying to create a formula to select the lowest number from three
columns and input it into a fourth. For example:

Column A: 5
Column B: 3
Column C: 7
Column D: 3 (Formula result)

I know how to do this for two columns with an 'IF' function but this is now
too complicated for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try this:

=MIN(A1:C1)

=MIN(A:A,B:B,C:C)

=MIN(A2,B2,C2)
