There is a specific pattern. All the cells are in the same row with two
columns of data after each cell.

Hi!

Is there a specific pattern like your example of A1, A3,
A5 or are the cells scattered all over the place?

Averaging noncontiguous numbers ignoring zeros?

I'm trying to calculate an average but I want to not
include any values of
zero. I've seen examples here and in Microsft help for
contiguous values (ex:
A1:A7) but not for the averages of noncontiguous data
(ex: A1, A3, A5).

I found Microsoft's example using contiguous data
under "Calculate the
average of numbers, ignoring zero (0) values". They show
how to average
A1:A6 using:
=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A7<0, A2:A7,"")) . I've not been able to
revise this
formula to calculate noncontiguous data. Any ideas?
