AVERAGE
How do I average a column of numbers to exclude zeros? If there are 3 zeros
and 2 numbers, then the average function is dividing the two numbers by 5. I need an average function that will average only numbers not zeros. So, if there are 5 rows and in the column there a 1 and a 4 and three 0's, then the average I want is 2.6 because it would only average the numbers above zero. Thank you. Connie |

AVERAGE
Try one of these:
Excel 2007 only: =AVERAGEIF(A1:A5,"<0") All versions of Excel array entered** : =AVERAGE(IF(A1:A5<0,A1:A5)) ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Connie Martin" wrote in message ...

AVERAGE
Sorry, I'm getting #DIV/0! and I pressed CTRL SHIFT ENTER after entering it.
Is there an add-in I need or something? Why doesn't it work?
