Default Find Average w/ #DIV/0! in Cell

I am trying to find the average of cells if one or more of the cells has
#DIV/0!
Example: =average(Page1B1:Page2B1:Page3B1) Page 2B1 has #DIV/0! in the cell
because nothing has been entered in another cell where it captures its
information. So all I would need is the average of (Page1B1 and Page3B1).
The cell which shows #DIV/0! is subject to change all the time. Does this
make sense??!!

Any chance you could change the formulas in the referenced cells to have an
if(dividend = 0,"",divisor/dividend)?

That would remove the #div/0 errors and allow the average formula to skip
your errored cell... Not sure the formula wil calc otherwise.

As pointed out in your other thread, you need to sort out your mismatched
parentheses before you go any further.

Default Find Average w/ #DIV/0! in Cell

If I understand you correctly you are attempting to perform a mathematical
function on cells that are in themselves outputs of other formulas. In some
instances those formulas output a #DIV/0.

Use the ISERROR function combined with an IF statement to erase #DVI/0's.
They won't display anymore and formulas that include cells that formerly
evaluated to #DIV/0 will now calculate correctly...

Like so...

=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(Page1B1:Page2B1:Page3B1)),"",( AVERAGE(Page1B1:Page2B1:Page3B1)))

Default Find Average w/ #DIV/0! in Cell

The cell is now blank
Here is my formula
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(Monday!B2:Tuesday!B2:Wednesday !B2:Thursday!B2:Friday!B2:Saturday!B2)),"",(AVERAG E(Monday!B2:Tuesday!B2:Wednesday!B2:Thursday!B2:Fr iday!B2:Saturday!B2)))

The cells will show #DIV/0! if we have not gotten to that day in the week
