How do I do this if the exception is not a number. For example, I want to
average all of column A if column B equals cell D1, except when the word "NO"
is in column B.

Try one of these:

=SUMIF(A1:A10,"<8")/(COUNT(A1:A10)-COUNTIF(A1:A10,8))

Or, this array** formula:

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A10<8,A1:A10))

**entered with the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
