Thanks, now I'll have to decide which formula looks nicer :-)

Assumptions:


Spikes are any value =100. Spikes should be "capped" at 100.


C1 = spike value = 100


A1:A10 = numbers to average


Try this array formula** :


=AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A10),IF(A1:A10=C1,C1,A1:A 10)))


** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

I have a table of numbers, some cells are blank, and I'd like to
calculate
the average (excluding blanks). *Easy so far...


However some of the numbers are "spikes", and rather than discarding
these,
I'd like to set a value for them, to be included in the average.


I could have a second table with an IF function replacing any numbers
too
high, but would prefer not to if possible


Any help much appreciated


Thanks heaps
