Average Non-Adjacent Cells in Budget Spreadsheet
I have Budget SpreadSheet thet is set by month(U3), then Budget(U4), Actual(V5) columns. This is repeated 12 times across the sheet. I then have "Buget Average" and an "Actual Average" cell. The budget average is easy because all cells have values for all 12 months. How do I average the actual since only a few months have data? This shoud be simple but I have read 200 posts and have not found anything. All suggestions were for ranges/adjacent cells. -- OPB3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPB3's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33686 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=534715 |

Average Non-Adjacent Cells in Budget Spreadsheet

Average Non-Adjacent Cells in Budget Spreadsheet
=(F10+H10+J10+L10)/(COUNTA(F10,H10,J10,L10)
This formula should work where F10, H10, J10, L10, etc are your Actuals and where a zero is entered for any past month with no Actual data.

Average Non-Adjacent Cells in Budget Spreadsheet
This is close but it only works on on rows (AH7, AH8, etc) without my subtotals (AH9). I have attached a pdf of the spreadsheet (I Think) and this is the actual formula: =(J7+L7+N7+P7+R7+T7+V7+X7+Z7+AB7+AD7+AF7)/(COUNTA(J7,L7,N7,P7,R7,T7,V7,X7,Z7,AB7,AD7,AF7)) The row with the subtotal has a zero placed due to the formula so the future months that have no actuals skew the average. The AVERAGE function alone, as suggested, does not work at all. I am a "newbie" to excell and appreciate the help.

[...] Given the structure of the formula you posted: =AVERAGE(IF(MOD(COLUMN(J7:AF7)-COLUMN(J7)+0,2)=0,IF(J7:AF70),J7:AF7))) which needs to be confirmed with control+shift+enter, not just with enter. |
