[[esql-least]]
=== `LEAST`
*Syntax*
[.text-center]
image::esql/functions/signature/least.svg[Embedded,opts=inline]
*Parameters*
`first`::
First of the columns to evaluate.
`rest`::
The rest of the columns to evaluate.
*Description*
Returns the minimum value from multiple columns. This is similar to
<<esql-mv_min>> except it is intended to run on multiple columns at once.
NOTE: When run on `keyword` or `text` fields, this returns the first string
in alphabetical order. When run on `boolean` columns this will return
`false` if any values are `false`.
*Supported types*
include::types/least.asciidoc[]
*Example*
[source.merge.styled,esql]

include::{esql-specs}/math.csv-spec[tag=least]
