Hello I have a worksheet that I need to find the value of cells greater than
4.5 i have tried =AVERAGE(IF(A1:A30=4.5,A1:A30)) and it works but i only
need certain cells for example i only need cells A1,A2,A3,A4,A10,A23,A34 but
only if they are 4.5 what is the formula?

It looks like you're trying to find the average of the cells. If so,
use SUMIF and then divide by COUNTIF:

=SUMIF(B3:B27,"4.5")/COUNTIF(B3:B27,"4.5")

Also, you said greater than; make sure you don't mean to include the
4.5 (change the range to "=4.5").

Hi

You need to enter is as an array formula
To Create or Edit, array formulae, use Control+Shift+Enter (CSE) not just
Enter.
When you use CSE, Excel will insert curly braces { } around your
formula. Do not type them yourself.

When you use CSE, it will look like this
{=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A30=4.5,A1:A30))}

a macro
Sub averagearray()
For Each c In Array(1, 2, 3, 10, 23, 34)
If Cells(c, "a") 4.5 Then
ms = ms + Cells(c, "a")
cc = cc + 1
End If
Next c
MsgBox ms
MsgBox cc
MsgBox ms / cc
End Sub
