Default GEOMEAN

Hi,

I need help real bad and pronto. Need to calculate average annual growth
rate using geomean. My array has negative nos. as can be seen:
A1: 2.1
A2: 3.8
A3: 2.1
A4: -4.1
A5: -0.8
A6: 4.6
A7: 0.6
A8: -1.7
A9: 4.1
A10: 4.1
A11: 4.5

i used the following formulae as posted on this site by David, harlan and
Ron:

=SUMPRODUCT(GEOMEAN(A1:A3+1))


=GEOMEAN(Range_of_Percentages+1)-1 (DAVID)

or

=EXP(AVERAGE(LN(Range_of_Percentages+1)))-1 (HARLAN)

=GEOMEAN(1+K1:K3)-1 (RON)

(array-entered)

It doesn't work!!! Can somebody pl. help me? My work is being held up for
this one thing.

Fenil.
