Average across worksheets ignoring zero
I am using =AVERAGE(Start:End!F37) to calculate an average across multiple
worksheets. However, some of the sheets contain a zero in cell B37. I need to ignore that zero (and that sheet) entirely. Can anyone help? |

Average across worksheets ignoring zero
I am using =AVERAGE(Start:End!F37)
some of the sheets contain a zero in cell B37 Which cell is it, B37 or F37? A single formula to do this can be really complicated (especially if you need an error trap). You would be better off using a formula on each individual sheet that checks for 0. On each sheet in say, cell X1: =IF(F37=0,"",F37) Then you can still use the much simpler: =AVERAGE(Start:End!X1) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Ted" wrote in message ...

Average across worksheets ignoring zero
One way by specifying the sheet names..
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&{"sheet1","sheet2"} &"'!F37"),"<0"))/ SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&{"sheet1","sheet2" }&"'!F37"),"<0")) 'OR having the sheet names in J1:J3 (no blank cells) =SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"& J1:J3 &"'!F37"),"<0"))/ SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"& J1:J3 &"'!F37"),"<0")) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Ted" wrote: I am using =AVERAGE(Start:End!F37) to calculate an average across multiple worksheets.
