Default Finding the Average

=AVERAGE(IF(1:10,1:1))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
Excel will automatically enclose the formula in braces (curly brackets), do
not try to do this manually.
When editing the formula, it must again be array-entered.

I want to average an entire row, but there are cells with the value of
zero.
I only want to average the cells that have a value greater than zero. The
problem is this. I don't want to clear out the cells with the value of
zero
because they are programmed with formulas. I need the average to continue
to
modify when these cells value are greater than zero.

If you're using XL 07, you can use the AVERAGEIF function and avoid
having to use an array formula.
