countif
 

I have a summarizing section of a worksheet in which I need to get an average
for a range of
cells:(N13+X13+AH13+AR13+BB13+BL13+BV13+CF13+CP13+ CZ13+DJ13+DT13+ED13+EN13+EX13+FH13+FR13+GB13+GL13+ GV13+HF13+HP13+HZ13+IJ13)

I need to put a condition on it that the average is based on only the cells
with a value though. So I was thinking that I'd add on a countif condition
to get the number it divides by.

(N13+X13+AH13+AR13+BB13+BL13+BV13+CF13+CP13+CZ13+D J13+DT13+ED13+EN13+EX13+FH13+FR13+GB13+GL13+GV13+H F13+HP13+HZ13+IJ13)/COUNTIF(N13,"0")

This only says if N13 is greater than zero, but I have all the other cells
that need be spedified as greater than zero as well. How do I do this
function??

One way (array-entered: CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER or CMD-RETURN):

=AVERAGE(IF((MOD(COLUMN(N13:IJ13),10)=4)*(N13:IJ13 0),N13:IJ13))

will only average values 0.

If you may have zero or negative values that should be averaged in, try
(also array-entered):

=AVERAGE(IF((MOD(COLUMN(N13:IJ13),10)=4)*(N13:IJ13 <""),N13:IJ13))

Thanks for the feedback and help.

I've plugged this in and I'm getting #Value! return. Any ideas on why?
Also, what does the =4 signify is this formula?

Thanks again for your help.

It's probably because you didn't hold down CTRL and SHIFT when you hit
ENTER.

Since your first column is the 14th ("N"), MOD(COLUMN(N),10) = 4.
Subsequent columns also have this property since you're averaging every
10th column,.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I originally entered instead of
Control/Shift and enter.

Now I'm getting #Div/0, and what's weird about that is, I put in a value at
every cell to test.

I'm baffled. Any other insight you could give would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
