Average column
I have a column of cells which contain some cells with values (ie:
4,6,3,5,7 etc.) and some blanks (cells which possibly will have values if circumstances are right) I need to average the values but ignore the blank cells. can this be done and how Thanks EJ |

Average column
AVERAGE function ignores blank cells (but involves zero cells!)

Average column
My appologies, The empty cells are not empty, they contain a formula
which is returning =IF(ISERROR('Date Scores'!D2328),"",('DateScores'!D2328)) this is because they only return a value if the cell D2328 has a valid value (if it hasnt a valid value D2328 returns #NULL) EJ On Tue, 23 Sep 2008 01:55:45 -0700 (PDT), muddan madhu wrote: Average function ignores the empty cells.

Average column
Even in this case, the average formula will yield the correct result.
