Function question (probably easy)
 

I'm working with four columns. the cells in my 4th column are going to be the
averages of the other three columns. If I copy my average formulay down the
whole column then everything is fine except it displays "#DIV/0!" becuase I
dont' have any information in the fields yet. How can I tell that cell to
display nothing if atleast one of the other three cells don't have any values.

If this doesn't make sense please let me know I'll try again.
Thanks in advance.

Try using:
=IF(OR(A1="",B1="",C1=""),"",SUM(A1:C1)/3)

Here is one to try:
=IF(COUNT(A1:C1)=3,AVERAGE(A1:C3),''")

Thanks you very much. I had to change the =3 to 0 because I wanted it to
average even if there was only one entry but you gave me a great start.
Thanks.
