I have a Table 1 that extracts data from table 2 and table 3 to Table 1
columns A and B.

Where Tables 2 and 3 contain no data Excel returns the balue 0 to table
1.

The tables look like this:

Table 1, Table 2, Table 3
Column A Column B Column A Column A
+T2 Cell A1 +T3 Cell A1 Data Data
Result Result
m 4 m 4
f 6 f 6
f 8 f 8
0 0
0 0

With the data above and using the array
formula =MEDIAN(IF($A$5:$A$90,IF($B$5:$B$90,$B$5:$B$9)))

I get a correct result of 6. But if there is no Data in Table 3 Column
A I get the result #NUM!

As this data gets used to complile a further data set I need it to
return 0 (Zero).

Any help appreciated.

If you want a Median of an array, (i'll say A1:A10) not counting zero
values, this is how you do it. (I'm refering to my example)

1 5
2 6
3 7
4 0
5 0
6 4
7 3
8
9 4
10 6

Cells like A8 with blank values must be turned into 0, hence B1 takes
this equation:
=IF(A1="",0,A1)

C1 should take this equation:
=IF(B1=0,0,1)

Drag these formulae down to the bottom of the table

C11 can be =SUM(C1:C10)

Cell A11 can also be =SUM(A1:A10)

Cell C12 can take the equation
=(C12+IF(MOD(C11,2)=1,1,0))/2

Cell C12 tells you the position of the median within the range

Highlight the entire table (except the sums below) and sort by column B
in descending order.

Column D can take numbered values, 1, 2, 3... with respect to the row
number.

Now cell E1 takes this equation:
=IF(C$12=D1,B1,0)

Drag this column down to the bottom of the table

The cell that will give the median takes the equation:
=SUM(E1:E10)

Long winded, but it will give you the solution.

Maybe...

=IF(SUM(($A$5:$A$90)*($B$5:$B$90)),MEDIAN(IF($A$ 5:$A$90,IF($B$5:$B$90
,$B$5:$B$9))),0)

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Hope this helps!

Thanks both - I'll try both solutions and come back to you.

Domenic's solution works very well - many thanks - I have adopted it.
Faz your solution was just a bit too long winded to be used where the
function needed frequent repetition but many thanks anyway
