I have a column that I average the sum (ignoring blank cells in the formula)
sum of column, divided by count of cells that are not blank.

here is the formula that is in B10...
=(SUM(B4:B9))/COUNTA(B4:B9)

When I insert a row above B10 the formula does not change to incorporate
that additional row. How can I get the formula to recognize new rows?
should now be
=(SUM(B4:B10))/COUNTA(B4:B10)

Thanks

you could copy row 10 and paste to row 11, and then type your new values over
those in row 10

....forgot to mention you would need to also add $ signs to b4 (b$4)

hi
you could create a dynamic range.
2003 on the menu barInsertnamedefine
in the name in workbook box, enter a name for the range say myname.
then in the refers to box enter...
=OFFSET($B$1,0,0,MATCH(99999999,$B:$B),1)

click the add button the ok out.
then on the sheet use this formula...

=sum(myrange)/Counta(myrange)

the range will adjust as you add rows (or delete rows)
