how do I average cells if a cell is at #div/0!
ok heres what I have.
in cell D6 I have formula of =AVERAGE(D7:D10) which its at #div/0! in cell D11 = AVERAGE(D12:D15) which its at 85 in cell D16 =AVERAGE(D17:D210) which its at 50 in cell D3 I just want the average of cell D6,D11,and D16 is this possible and how? |

Possible, yes. But why allow errors in your worksheet? Handle the errors in your formulas and you won't have this problem. =IF(ISERR0R(AVERAGE(D7:D10),0,AVERAGE(D7:D10)) |

Change the D6 formula to =IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(D7:D10)),"",AVERAGE(D7:D10))
But be careful taking the average of averages.

I assume you mean
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(D7:D10)),0,AVERAGE(D7:D10)) and not =IF(ISERR0R(AVERAGE(D7:D10),0,AVERAGE(D7:D10)) (with the missing closing parenthesis, and with an O where you had a zero), but do you really want to return a zero in the error case, or wouldn't =IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(D7:D10)),"",AVERAGE(D7:D10)) be better so that it doesn't affect the next stage average in D3? -- David Biddulph "JW" wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks for the help, that worked fine but I think I have another problem. I

Typo on my part. As for the average portion, could be either way. In my line of work, those zeros need to be included in the grand average or I'd be reporting false data and get kicked to the curb! |
