I have set up a table in which I need to average only the cells that
contain
numbers and I need to ignore cells that contain #DIV/0 from a formula that
I
have entered without changing them to zero. I still need the formula for
the
other cells. I need to setup a formula that is consistent for workbook so
I
will need to be able to include the #DIV/0 cells in my formula but still
average only the cells that have a number in them. I have tried the Count
function but I need it to recognize the numbers and average them while
ignoring #DIV/0.
