how do I get AVERAGE to ingore a zero value cell
I am using the AVERAGE function but if i have two cells where one is "0" how
do I get it to preserve the first value rather than halving it? E.G what I need it to do is: 3+3 = 6, average score = 3 5+0 = 5 average score = 5 |

One way:
=SUM(A1:A10)/COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<0") If it's possible that text values are found in your range, use: =SUM(A1:A10)/SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<0"),-COUNTIF (A1:A10,"*")) This following is also valid, but longer: =SUM(A1:A10)/-(COUNTA(A1:A10)-SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A10, {"<0","<=9.99999999999999E+307"}))) HTH Jason Atlanta, GA -----Original Message----- I am using the AVERAGE function but if i have two cells where one is "0" how do I get it to preserve the first value rather than halving it?

Type =AVERAGE(IF(A1:A10<0,A1:A10)) into a cell. This is an array formula Enter using CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER and Excel will place curly brackets around like this. {=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A10<0,A1:A10))} Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 10:07:06 -0800, "Mikewoodmsw" wrote: I am using the AVERAGE function but if i have two cells where one is "0" how do I get it to preserve the first value rather than halving it?
