calculating average with blank cells
Hi I have 4 columns with an average function on the bottom, however not all the columns are used all the time, resulting in an error (#DIV/0!). How do I calculate the average only if the cells are used. If I don't used one of the columns I would like it to stay blank or return 0 thanks marvin -- marvinks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marvinks's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37188 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=568964 |

enter following formula at the bottom of your columns instead of simple AVERAGE function. suppose your data is in col A range(A1:A50), you should change this range for each column. =IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(A1:A50)),"",AVERAGE(A1:A50)) marvinks Wrote: Hi I have 4 columns with an average function on the bottom, however not all the columns are used all the time, resulting in an error (#DIV/0!).
