I am trying to write a harmonic mean function that will evaluate a set
of numbers, even if there are negative or zero values. The harmonic mean formula is the count of numbers in the data set divided by the sum of 1/n. The excel function is =harmean(). For example, the data set 5, 7, 4, 10, 11, 15, 12 yields a harmonic mean of 7.497...( 7 / (1/5+1/7+1/4+1/10+1/11+1/15+1/12)). This formula does NOT work if their is a zero OR negative number in the set. I have written code that will evaluate the numbers, but my question is whether or not their is a way to count the blank/text/empty cells in an array? Originally, I thought using a countif(array,"=0") or count(isempty(array)) would work, but learned that countif doesn't seem to work with arrays and count(isempty(array)) will return 1 no matter how many cells may be empty or will return zero if no cells are empty. Any help would be appreciated. If the above data set were 5, 7, -4, 10, -11, 15, and 12 the formula would be ( 7 / (1/5+1/7+1/10+1/15+1/12)). Note: I know that in the code below I could use (counter / sum(array)), but I'm looking to see if there is a more robust way. Sub hMeanRefined() Dim hMean() Dim counter Dim shM 'sum hMean Dim chM 'count hMean Dim cehM 'count empty hMean Dim vhM 'value hMean Sheets("Refined").Select Rows("2:8").ClearContents counter = Range("a1").CurrentRegion.Columns.Count ReDim hMean(1, 1 To counter) For a = 1 To counter If Cells(1, a) <= 0 Then hMean(1, a) = "empty" 'hMean(1, a) = Empty Cells(2, a) = hMean(1, a) Else hMean(1, a) = 1 / Cells(1, a) Cells(2, a) = hMean(1, a) End If Next shM = Application.Sum(hMean) Cells(2, counter + 1) = shM Cells(2, counter + 2) = "Sum of 1/n" chM = Application.Count(hMean) Cells(3, counter + 1) = chM Cells(3, counter + 2) = "Count of numbers in set" 'cehM = Application.CountIf(hMean, "=0") 'cehM = Application.Count(IsEmpty(hMean)) cehM = Application.CountIf(Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, counter)), "<=0") Cells(4, counter + 1) = cehM Cells(4, counter + 2) = "Count of empty or negative cells in set" vhM = (chM + cehM) / shM Cells(5, counter + 1) = (Cells(3, counter + 1) + Cells(4, counter + 1)) / Cells(2, counter + 1) Cells(5, counter + 2) = "(Count of numbers + Count of empty) / Sum of 1/n" Cells(6, counter + 1) = vhM End Sub Thanks, Matt |
