I have a column and in Row 1 I need the average, Row 2 the Minimum & Row 3
the Max.

I allow the user to input from rows 6 - 37 and my formulas are as follows:

Row1: =AVERAGE(A6:A37)
Row2: =MIN(A6:A37)
Row3: =MAX(A6:A37)

this works as it should however I have a value of "bdl" that a user may
input and I need that to equal zero for the formulas to work correctly
I cannot just enter zero as "bdl" is an acronym for below defined limits and
gov regulations require that it read as such. I thought I could use an IF
statement in the formula but I cannot get it to work.

I appreciate all help in this equation and thank you for your time.
