Hello,
I have 14 worksheets in my current workbook, 13 of which are different employees. Each day I am entering data that is then automatically averaged into a mtd column. Sometimes there will be 0's in those mtd columns and I dont want those counted when i take the number from the single cell on all of the worksheets to produce a correct average on sheet 14 Please help i've been working on this for 3 days. Here is a list of different formulas Ive tried.

=SUM(sheet1:sheet13!B2)/COUNTIF(sheet1!B2,"0",sheet2,"0",sheet3,"0",she et4,"0",sheet5,"0",sheet6,"0",sheet7,"0",sheet 8,"0",sheet9,"0",sheet10,"0",sheet11,"0",sheet 12,"0",sheet13,"0")

=AVERAGE(IF(sheet1:sheet13!B2<0,sheet1:sheet13!B2, "")

And other variations of those....either I get a REF or VALUE error when doing this. Ive searched and searched the last 3 days and im about to give up. Please help

Have you tried

=AVERAGE(sheet1:sheet13!B2)

Average will ignore the cells that have no value in them

In your first formula you were omitting the cell reference for each
sheet.

Yes i've tried that, but that forumula includes zero values in cells which I dont want.

Let A2:A14 contain the sheet names, then try the following formula,
which needs to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

=AVERAGE(IF(N(INDIRECT("'"&$A$2:$A$14&"'!B2"))0,N (INDIRECT("'"&$A$2:$A$1
4&"'!B2"))))

Hope this helps!

So in your formula where you have ("'"&$A$2:$A$14&"'!B2"), I should enter it like this....("'"&Sheet1:Sheet13&"'B2")....???

No, A2:A14 should contain all the sheet names like

Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3
Sheet4
...........
Sheet13


so each cell in A2:A14 holds a sheet name

then you just use Domenic's formula

Not really wanting to do it that way. I already have the spreadsheet the way I like it. I have the dates in the A column. Why cant I just average 1 cell across multiple worksheets and not include zeros in the calculation? I mean obviously its difficult because I have been working on this for almost a week now, but I know theres gotta be a guru on here that can figure it out right????

You don't have to use that particular range, you can put your sheet names
somewhere else off view like in IV2:IV14 or hard code them. As far as a guru
I doubt you will find anyone more knowledgeable than Domenic when it comes
3D formulas. There is no way of using a condition over multiple sheets
without either hard code all sheets into the formula or using a range with
all sheet names

=AVERAGE(IF(N(INDIRECT("'"&{"Sheet1";"Sheet2";"She et3";"Sheet4";"Sheet5";"Sheet6";"Sheet7";"Sheet8"; "Sheet9";"Sheet10";"Sheet11";"Sheet12";"Sheet13"}& "'!B2"))0,N(INDIRECT("'"&{"Sheet1";"Sheet2";"Shee t3";"Sheet4";"Sheet5";"Sheet6";"Sheet7";"Sheet8";" Sheet9";"Sheet10";"Sheet11";"Sheet12";"Sheet13"}&" '!B2"))))

array entered

In addition to Peo's suggestions, I believe if you download and install
the free add-in Morefunc.xll, you should be able to use the THREED
function...

=AVERAGE(IF(THREED('Sheet1:Sheet13'!B2)0,THREED(' Sheet1:Sheet13'!B2)))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER. Note that I haven't been able to
test it since this add-in is not compatible with my Mac version of
Excel. If you'd like to try it, the add-in can be found at the
following link...
