Hi,
Nothing you or Aladin said came across poorly. A comment that was said in a different post made me feel that I had somehow abused the discussion group which was not my intention. Im sure that Ill need more help at a later time. Thanks again! €œJust to make sure he posted again a third time and wasted Ken Wright's time as well as -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please, for everyone's benefit keep the discussion in the newsgroup/forum) "Ken Wright" wrote: LOL - If that's how it came across then my apologies as it wasn't meant to. If Aladin's solution works then good stuff and go with it. Almost anything can be catered for, but we have to know the rules of engagement with the data :-) -- Regards Ken.......................

Hi, First off I would like to apologize for wasting peoples time. That is that last thing that I want to do. I feel that this is a great thing going on and that the more knowledgable people are providing a great service to people like me. So again I apologize. Now that I have that off my chest.....What I am donig is a handicap worksheet. Yes some of the cells in the rows could possibly have zeros in them (But my score won't reflect that). I didn't want to use them if the column didn't have data in them (Zeros in the row after my last column of data). So far everything offer to me as far as help has been fantastic, and I think that I am in good shape. I am probably asking the worksheet to do to much. I think that I am trying to get to complex with this and should stick with simplicity. Thank you so much for everyones time. Also, I think that the last formula give by Aladin did the trick for me, Thanks!!

I'd now be dubious about relying on anything other than manually telling it how many data points to cater for. If the value can be greater than 0 and less than 0 then I have to believe it is possible to actually be 0. If he's 100% sure it can't then that should do him though :-) That having been said, in this type of scenario there is usually some kind of flag on the sheet that denotes a date or something that can be used to calculate how many date periods and hence data points should be analysed, even if it's just using something like MATCH/HLOOKUP etc to marry up the current month and year with the dates that i assume sit on top of this data. -- Regards Ken.......................

Ken, Maybe... =AVERAGE(OFFSET(G34,,MATCH(2,1/(G34:Z34<0))-1,,-5)) is what Geo is looking for. The formula must be confirmed with control+shift+enter. Note also that the formula does not check whether there is a sufficent amount of data points in the range of interest. <snip |
