Problem is displaying formula
 

Hi,

I am creating a report in which the avg is formulated. But when there
is no data entered in the column the solution shows #DIV/0!

for ex
I wanted to avg c23 to c27 i gave the formula
=AVERAGE(C23:C27)

when there is no data in c23 to c27 the display shows #DIV/0!

I dont want the msg to appear in the screen.

Help needed.

One way,

=IF(SUM(C23:C27)<0,AVERAGE(C23:C27),"")

Regards,
Alan.

A very common problem. The usual approach is:

=IF(ISERROR(yourformula),"",yourformula))

so in your case:

=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(C23:C27)),"",AVERAGE(C23:C27))

You can look to see if there are any numbers in that range:

=if(count(c23:c27)=0,"No numbers yet",average(c23:c27))

Hi,
another possibility is =average(if(c23:c27<0,c23:c27,false))
entered as an array formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
