Hi!

Try removing the quotes from your
values "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"

When you enclose numbers in quotes Excel treats it as TEXT
and as a result the AVERAGE function ignores TEXT.

I have set up a Markbook which calculates levels for test
scores.
In Cell B3 is the test score for an individual student in
cell B4 I have the
following formula:
=IF(B3<6,"2",IF(B3<11,"3", IF(B3<15,"4",IF
(B3<20,"5","6"))))
This pattern is repeated along the row with alternate
test scores and
formula cells which give the corresponding level.
As each test requires different scores for a given level
the numbers vary
slightly.
I have five test scores (ten cells of data).
I would like to average the levels (not the test scores)
I have.
In the last cell of the row I have entered the formula:
=AVERAGE(C3,E3,G3,I3,K3)
But all I get is the Div/0 result.
I have tried, F2, Ctrl, SHIFT, ENTER for the level cells
and the Average
cell but this has not worked.
There must be an easy way round this?
Any help would be appreciated, feeling rather dumb :)
