Calculate average with missing values
Hi! In column A I have values in some cells and "#MISSING!" in some cells.
In column B I want to calculate the average value of e.g. A1 to A3. How can I do that when some values are missing? Thanks! |

Calculate average with missing values
This will still give you the average of the cells which contain
numbers: =AVERAGE(A1:A3) For example, A1 = 1, A2 = "text", A3 = 2 gives B1 = 1.5. Hope this helps. Pete On Jan 14, 9:46*am, Arne Hegefors wrote: Hi!

Calculate average with missing values
One way:
=AVERAGE(A1:A3) AVERAGE() ignores text. If you may not have ANY numeric values in A1:A3, then perhaps: =IF(COUNT(A1:A3),AVERAGE(A1:A3),"No Values") In article , Arne Hegefors wrote: Hi!
