If the cells are hidden manually or by filtering and you have XL 2003 you can
use the SUBTOTAL function.

=SUBTOTAL(101,A:A)

If you have XL 2002 or earlier and rows are hidden by filter use this one

=SUBTOTAL(1,A:A)

Hi
How can I write a function Average of cells in a column but not count hiden
cells?

Normally I write: Average(D:D) but this function will calculate average all
cells even hiden cells

In my spread sheet I have some hiden cells such as below

Cell in row 1
2
3
4
100
101
102
....

i just want to calculate average of cell 1,2,3,4,100,101,102 but skip cells
in row 5 to 99


Thanks

Daniel
