Default averages

Hello T. Valko,

I also tried the Array formula with good results less all 0's. Actually I
changed it slightly to the following due to a consistent +2 error in our
input. Meaning that if we actually have a value of 0 it can sometimes read up
to 2. So below works great until I have all cells between 0 and 2 then I get
the error. Is there a way to say (If not then "") so if all cells are between
0 and 2 leave the formula cell blank.

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A102,A1:A10))

Thank you for your time!

Assuming the numbers are always positive...

Try one of these:

=SUM(A1:A10)/COUNTIF(A1:A10,"0")

This one is an array formula** :

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A100,A1:A10))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

Hi, I have a column with a line of numbers and I have set an average at
the
bottom using Autosum but it is dividing the zeros as well is there any way
around this?.

Thanks in advance, Barry.
