Default Average

Hi
I have three cells O28,O29,O30. In cell O27 I want to display the average
of the other three cells, but only if they have values in them.

Not sure how to do this

Hi,

Average ignores blank/text cells in the range so
=AVERAGE(O28:O30)

May do what you want. If you want to ignore zero then use this
=AVERAGE(IF(O28:O30<0,O28:O30,FALSE))

The second is an array formula and must be commited using CTRL+Shift+Enter
and not just enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself.

=IF(COUNT(O28:O30)=0,"",AVERAGE(O28:O30)) if you want the average if *any*
of the cells have values.
=IF(COUNT(O28:O30)<3,"",AVERAGE(O28:O30)) if you want the average only if
*all* of the cells have values.
