Maybe he is just trying to get across the deafening silence in the MSDG
system. :-)

(See my thread "FYI: MSDG not displaying posts;...".)

Besides, you're all the way across "the pond". Don't we have to shout in
order for you to hear us? :-) :-)

PS: Sorry about that contentless posting. I finally figured out my
problem -- the reason why I seem to be doing so much of that lasely. In OE,
the Send button is normally in the relative position as the Reply Group
button when I am reading a posting; and I have a tendency to double-click
the Reply Group button because my "click" mechanisms (button and touchpad)
are often non-responsive :-(. Aha! I can fix that: just customized the
toolbar. Klunk!

I HAVE A WOOKBOOK WITH 54 WORKSHEETS, THEY ARE ALL IDENTICAL, BUT
REPRESENT DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I AM CREATING A SUMMARY SHEET THAT WILL
DISPLAY DATA GATHERED FROM ALL OF THE OTHER SHEETS. I AM NOT HAVING
ANY ISSUE WITH "SUMMING" THE DATA, BUT I CANNOT SEEM TO GET A GOOD
AVERAGE. THE CELL I NEED TO AVERAGE CONTAINS A FORMULA AND THEREFORE
NON OF THEM ARE "BLANK" THEY CONATIN "ZEROES". I NEED THE AVERAGE ON
THE SUMMARY SHEET TO BE BASED ONLY ON THE NON-ZERO CELLS.

I HAVE THIS, ENTERED AS AN ARRAY, BUT GET A "REF" ERROR.
{=AVERAGE(IF('SHEET1:SHEET54'!K30,SHEET1:SHEET54' !K3))}

I HAVE ALSO TRIED TAKING THE SUM AND DIVIDING IT BY THE NUMBER OF
CELLS GREATER THAN ZERO CELLS USING THE "COUNTIF" FUNCTION AS FOLLOWS:

=SUM('SHEET 1:SHEET 20'!K3)/COUNTIF('SHEET 1:SHEET 20'!K3,"0")

THIS GIVES ME A "VALUE" ERROR.

I NEED HELP!!
