AVERAGE
I understand the basics of array formulas,and the following formula
=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A4<0, A2:A4,"")) which doesn't count zero's,but i want the cells A2:A4 but also with A7 added as a seperate cell for the formula to use in its calculations =AVERAGE(A2:A4,A7) something like this =AVERAGE(IF(A2:A4,A7<0, A2:A4,A7,"")) although this doesn't work,does anyone know how to write this the right way..........Help please... |

Done in a slightly different way.
=SUM(A2,A3,A4,A7)/COUNTIF(A2:A4,"0")+COUNTIF(A7,"0") Mike "sonicscooter" wrote: I understand the basics of array formulas,and the following formula =AVERAGE(IF(A2:A4<0, A2:A4,"")) which doesn't count zero's,but i want the cells A2:A4 but also with A7 added as a seperate cell for the formula to use in its calculations =AVERAGE(A2:A4,A7) something like this =AVERAGE(IF(A2:A4,A7<0, A2:A4,A7,"")) although this doesn't work,does anyone know how to write this the right way..........Help please... |

Are A2:A4 always filled in with a number?

Or if you could have text in those cells:
=SUM(A2:A4,A7)/(COUNTIF(A2:A4,"<"&0)+COUNTIF(A2:A4,""&0) +(ISNUMBER(A7)*(A7<0))) I missed the part that A7 should be excluded if =0 in the earlier post.

Hi,the list of cells is longer than that in my example,ie A1:A200 plus B2,the
reason for using an array formula was because some of the cells in either A1:A200 or B2 may contain zero's.....i didn't want to count zero's as it alters the outcome....Thanks Shane......England "Dave Peterson" wrote: Are A2:A4 always filled in with a number? =SUM(A2:A4,A7)/(COUNTIF(A2:A4,"<"&0)+COUNT(A7)) sonicscooter wrote: I understand the basics of array formulas,and the following formula =AVERAGE(IF(A2:A4<0, A2:A4,"")) which doesn't count zero's,but i want the cells A2:A4 but also with A7 added as a seperate cell for the formula to use in its calculations =AVERAGE(A2:A4,A7) something like this =AVERAGE(IF(A2:A4,A7<0, A2:A4,A7,"")) although this doesn't work,does anyone know how to write this the right way..........Help please... -- Dave Peterson |
