The AVERAGE function ignores text


Per Excel Help for the AVERAGE function:
If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored; however, cells with the value zero are included.<<

Are you experiencing something different?

Does that help?

Hi
Can anyone advise me please of a formula to calculate the average for a
range where only numerals are present. i.e. I have a column with a number of
text values in which the numeral value has no entry?
Thank you in advance.
