The reason you get a value error is that you have text in U11:V1143, you
should always avoid that as much as possible. Btw, why are you using =0 in
your original formula, can there be negative numbers?

Any suggestions, I really appreciate your help.

Help Please! I need to learn how to get the average of two columns
excluding
certain types which are in a third column. Column U is Survey Score
column V
is Additional Survey Score but I need to exclude the type of "PTA"
survey
scores which are in column B.

The current formula we use just to get the average is of the two
columns is:
=SUMIF(U11:V1143,"=0")/MAX(1,COUNTIF(U11:V1143,"=0"))

What do I need to add to the formula to exclude the "PTA" scores, the
score
types are in column B. Or do I need to use a totally different formula
to
achieve this?
