Hi Bob

Well that is exactly what the last formula I supplied does.

If you want to send me a copy of your workbook, I will take a look for you.

I will try and explain. I have a number that I need to meet for a 24hr
average. That is .075. Lets say that I put all the data in columns A1 :
A24 as each hour completes. In another cell, lets say C24 I want it to
say what I need to average in the the unfilled cells so that I get my
average of .075. I do not know how to explain it any better. I had a
spreadsheet that use to work but I cannot seem to find it.

Hi Bob

That's not too helpful.
Explain what you have done, what is not right and what it is that you
want, then maybe we can give some further help.

Thanks for all the help but none of the formulas are giving me what I
want.

Hi Bob

In cell C24 enter
=(24*0.075-SUM(A1:INDEX(A1:A24,COUNT(A1:A24))))
/COUNTBLANK(A1:A24)

Hi Bob

Assuming your data is entered in A1:X1
=(24*0.075-SUM(A1:INDEX(A1:X1,COUNT(A1:X1))))/
COUNTBLANK(A1:X1)
will give you the average required for the remaining unfilled hours

I need help in trying to set up a work sheet that will keep track of
an
average. I also need to know what I have to maintain to get the
average I
am looking for. Example: I need to average .075 over a 24 hour
period,
lets
say that I have 12 hours of data, i need to know what I have to
average
the
remaining hours to get my .075. I enter the hourly numbers myself.
