Average of column with changing numbers of records
I'm trying to find the average of a column of numbers by suming and dividing
by the number of records i.e. =sum(a1:a100)/100. Is there anyway I can use the number of records to replace the 'divided by number' i.e. =sum(a1:a10)/number of records or cells with a values greater than 0 when the are only for instance 50 recored in the column? I want to get away from having to change the 'devided by' number so when I add records the 'devided by' value increases. Cheers |

Perhaps use DAVERAGE instead? Bikertyke wrote: I'm trying to find the average of a column of numbers by suming and dividing by the number of records i.e. =sum(a1:a100)/100.

Average of column with changing numbers of records
Try it this way:
=SUM(A1:A100)/COUNTIF(A1:A100,"0") Hope this helps. Pete "Bikertyke" wrote in message ...

You could use this, in B1, array-entered*:
=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A1000,A1:A100)) *press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads: 15,500, Files: 352, Subscribers: 53 xdemechanik --- "Bikertyke" wrote: I'm trying to find the average of a column of numbers by suming and dividing by the number of records i.e. =sum(a1:a100)/100.
