How can I get the average percentage of a collumn of percentages without
it
including any 0%. e.g. A1=0% A2=100%, A3=70% if it averaged the 3 cells
it
would be 57% but if it only averaged A2:A3 it would be 85%. I may have
several cells in the collumn which is showing 0% so how do I average just
those above 0%. Can you use Avg if is there such a formula?

Basically I have a collumn of attendance data which I am trying to get
the
avg of. sometimes it will be 0% because its a non expected attendance and
sometimes it will be because they did not attend though they should have
done. hope this make sence. So in essence sometimes I want to add the 0%
in
the avg and sometimes I don't how do I diferentiate between when I do and
when I don't
