One way is with this *array* formula:

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A6<0,A1:A6))

--
Array formulas must be entered with CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, instead of
the regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly
brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.

Hi,

i want to calculate the average of a column but exclude anyzeros in
that column.
For example: If column A1 contained 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 0 then the average
would be 2. (8/4) NOT (8/6)

Thanks.
