Hello all,
Could someone tell me how to calculate the average of a column in Excel
that
has blanks? I don't want to include the blanks in the average. I tried
using:
=AVERAGE(E1:E18)
thinking that it would not include the blank cells as part of the
calculation, but then realized the error of my ways...
Your help is most appreciated!
M.
