Hi folks, within another workbook, I track game data for our team. I have a
few columns where games have yet to be played and am showing the following
above error message as there is no data in the columns. Formula I'm using
is - =ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGE(K40:K45),0) .

Any suggestions on modifications so that I don't show the error message,
other than just changing the font to white font?

TIA,

Bob

You can trap the error and have Excel show nothing instead...

=IF(ISERROR(ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGE(K40:K45),0)),"",ROUN DDOWN(AVERAGE(K40:K45),0))

you can simply hide the result by using a conditional format under format.
this saves you having to amend your original formula:

1. Select the cell that contains the error value (e.g. B2).
2. Select 'Format' 'Conditional formatting'
3. From drop down box select 'Formula Is' and enter following formula;
=iserror(B2)
4. Select 'Format...' tab
5. Format the font colour to white and click ok (x2)
6. Copy the conditional format to the relevant cells by copypaste
specialformat

any error messages won't be visible.

The previous formula will make the cell text or "". If you need it to be a
zero use...

=IF(ISERROR(ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGE(K40:K45),0)),0,ROUND DOWN(AVERAGE(K40:K45),0))

Try this:

=ROUNDDOWN(IF(COUNT(K40:K45),AVERAGE(K40:K45),0),0 )

Returns 0 if the range doesn't contain any numbers.

Thanks Biff, that works just as well as the other formula I received. Seems
yours is a bit cleaner (less code). I like less code :).

You might be able to use this one:

=INT(IF(COUNT(K40:K45),AVERAGE(K40:K45)))
