Try something like this:

With values in cells A1:A10

Greater than zero:
SUM
B1: =SUMIF(A1:A10,"0")
AVERAGE
B2: =SUMIF(A1:A10,"0")/COUNTIF(A1:A10,"0")

Greater than or equal to zero:
SUM
B1: =SUMIF(A1:A10,"=0")
AVERAGE
B2: =SUMIF(A1:A10,"=0")/COUNTIF(A1:A10,"=0")

Does that help?

I have a lengthy spreadsheet with several columns of numerical data. Some
cells have positive numbers and others have negative numbers. My goal is to
get both a column sum and average--but only of only those cells with a
positive number--i would like to exclude the negative numbers from my
calculations.

Are there formulas that will so this for me?
