Default Sum Function that does not include 0

All of the contents of the cells are Hlookup formulas that lead to a main
data sheet. Once the main data sheet is updated, we open this worksheet & it
will automatically update the cells for yesterdays numbers.

My question is: Where do the values come from as far as number of calls? In
other words, why is there a 0 for Oct 8, 9, and 10? When those dates are
obviously not here yet. If these are manually entered, why are they entered
before the date has come to pass?

This is what the sheet currently looks like:

MTD Average 01-Oct 02-Oct 03-Oct 04-Oct 05-Oct 06-Oct 07-Oct
08-Oct 09-Oct 10-Oct
=Average(B2:K2) 1 7 6 0 3 5 0 0 0 0

I hope this makes more sense, I should have posted this from the beginning.
I am trying to have one formual so we don't have to change it everyday. Can I
combine =today()-1 with the average somehow?

I posted in other part of thread, by why are there 0's in days that have yet
to occur? How is the data here tabulated? You could just modify the formulas
that tabulate the daily totals.

i.e.: =IF(TODAY()=B1,SUM(yourdata),"")
This would be in cell B2 for example, and then just copy across.

Hi,

If you getting #Div/0! then are there any numbers in the range and are they
really numbers and not just text that looks like numbers.

formula using the crl+shift+ enter, I get #DIV/0!

Hi,

From your data and using the standard
=AVERAGE(B2:K2)
I get 2.2

A formula that ignores zero
=AVERAGE(IF(B2:K20,B2:K2))
returns 4.4

so maybe you want
=INT(AVERAGE(IF(B2:K20,B2:K2)))

the average(if is an array formula and must ben entered using
CTRL+Shift+Enter and not just enter. If you do it correctly Excel will put
curly brackets around it{}. you can't type these yourself.

I have a spreadsheet that has dates on the rows and daily counts for
coworkers in the columns. These numbers are pulled by Hlookup formulas in the
cells that pull from another worksheet. I want to have a running
month-to-date average without including the days that haven't it average the
days that haven't occurred. The current formula I'm using =SUM(B2:K2) gives
me and output of 2 but I'm looking for an output of 4.
