i am looking to get an average of a group of cells but I do not want the
cell
with a 0 in to be included but the cells numbers will change when I reuse
the
sheet. for example a2 will be a 253 cell a3 will be 0 cell a4 will be 432
but
the next day these cell numbers will changeA1 and A@ will have # and A4
will
not and I dont want to change the formuka every day.
