Minimum for different sized cell arrays

How do i find minimum value from indexing, it is simple for a matrix but how to do the same for different cells?
x & y are same sized
For matrix
x=10*rand(10,1300);
y=100*rand(10,1300);
idx=find(abs(x-1<0.005));
miny=min(y(idx))
For different sized cell arrays,
x&y= 10x1300 cell array containing the same different sized cells. Both are
Columns 1297 through 1300
[1×23 double] [1×29 double] [1×23 double] [1×25 double]
[1×25 double] [1×25 double] [1×25 double] [1×27 double]
[1×25 double] [1×27 double] [1×27 double] [1×25 double]
[1×29 double] [1×29 double] [1×25 double] [1×23 double]
[1×25 double] [1×23 double] [1×27 double] [1×27 double]
[1×27 double] [1×23 double] [1×21 double] [1×23 double]
[1×29 double] [1×27 double] [1×27 double] [1×27 double]
[1×21 double] [1×21 double] [1×29 double] [1×27 double]
[1×25 double] [1×25 double] [1×21 double] [1×27 double]
[1×25 double] [1×25 double] [1×25 double] [1×23 double]
index=cellfun( @(X) find(abs(X-1)<0.005), x, 'uniform', 0);
index results Columns 1297 through 1300, Index returns some zero cells.

How do i do the same to find the min as for a matrix, miny=min(y(idx)), a single value result.

To get the overall minima over a cell array without caring what the position is,
min( [YourArrayName{:}] )

min( cell2mat( cellfun(@(Y, IDX) Y(IDX), y, index, 'uniform', 0) ) )
