Hi Luke,

Thanks for replying.
I've probably been helped with the formula by someone here.
The workbook works for different groups by hiding some rows using a macro.
So would the formula work to average only those cells in the range that have
a value. Hidden rows have zeros and shouldn't be included in the average.
If that is what it's doing could you help me by explaining how the formula
works please.

Many thanks
Diddy

You are doing the equivalent of an "averageif" by having IF function sort
through your Score range and only outputting data that meets your criteria.
This is why you needed an array. The ISERROR is there in case you have zero
data points meeting criteria.

However, a shorter, non-array formula would be:
=IF(COUNTIF(Score,"0")=0,"",SUMIF(Score,"0")/COUNTIF(Score,"0"))

Hi,

I used the following in a spreadsheet over a year ago and can't remember
how, why, or what I've done. Head spinning because I'm making unexpected
changes which were needed "Now, if not sooner"
The formula below is entered as an array formula but don't know why
{=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(IF(Score0,Score))),"",AVERAG E(IF(Score0,Score)))}
Named range "Score" is a dynamic range as below
=OFFSET('Sheet1'!$Q$1,0,0,COUNTA('Sheet1'!$Q$1:$Q$ 35),1).
If anyone can help I would be grateful :-)

Cheers
