Default Excluding Zero's from Average (SumIF / CountIF)

How about a helper column? AVERAGE() will process zeros, but it ignores
blanks. So in Z1 put =IF(B1=0,"",B1) and copy down.

If B has a value, then so will Z. If B has a zero, then Z will have a
blank. Then average using Z

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was a way of excluding Zeros from averages.
I have tried IF and AND but have not been able to get it to work correctly.

I want to be able to fist find column b, then get an average by group where
value in F is not Zero.

This is what I have (it's working, but I cant seem to be able to count only
if value < 0, using a countif)

=(SUMIF(B18:B65536,B8,F18:F72))/COUNTIF(B18:B65536,B8)

Sample data:

B C E F G H
Online Sales 329 138 1 150 1
Location Sales 999 18 2 130 1

Thanks
