I want to tell excel that IF A2 has "#N/A", AVERAGE (A1,A3), A2
but it don't work, any help is highly appreciated, thanks

Try one of these:

This is an array formula** :

=AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A3),A1:A3))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

Or, this normally entered formula:

=SUMIF(A1:A3,"<1E100")/COUNT(A1:A3)

Handle that using ISNA() as below

=IF(ISNA(A2),AVERAGE(A1,A3),A2)

If this post helps click Yes

Hi,

You haven't told us what you want to do if A2 is not NA? One solution based
on your question as written is:

=IF(ISNA(A2),AVERAGE(A1,A3),"")
