I am trying to write a VBA code that will average the difference of of
arrays ignoring the rows where one array is missing data. In th
example below Jul 4 Jul 9th and July 12 and July 14, need to b
ignored. If this can be done in VBA or within a XL formula, an
solution is welcome.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Rob,

There may be an easier way, but here's an array formula that should work for
you:

=SUM(((B1:B13)0)*((C1:C13)0)*((B1:B13)-(C1:C13)))/SUM(((B1:B13)0)*((C1:C13)0))

Since it's an array formula, you must enter it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

SumProduct to the rescue again
=SUMPRODUCT((D2:D14-E2:E14)*(D2:D14<0)*(E2:E14<0))/SUMPRODUCT((D2:D14<0)*(E2:E14<0))
Adjust the ranges as necessary; I had my two columns in D and E
