Default How to omit blank cells when calculating weighted averages

Thanks so much!!

Yes. That's why I included =AVERAGE(D4:D24) as one of my 2 suggestions.

And for further information you could try hitting the F1 key and typing the
word Average.
RTFM doesn't have to be the *last* resort.

Hi David,

AVERAGE omits the blank cells, right?

Thanks,
Suzy

Have you tried =SUM(D4:D24)/COUNT(D4:D24) or =AVERAGE(D4:D24) ?

Hi Tom,

Can you help me with another formula? I am also calculating the
averages
of
each particular assignment in the class. How do I omit the blank cells
from
the class average for the assignment?

The formula is:

=SUM(D4:D24)/21

Thanks!!

Suzy

The formula will work equally as well with percentages as with credits
so
I
think it should do what you asked.

Good luck with it.
