how do I get AVERAGE to ingore a zero value cell
I am using the AVERAGE function but if i have two cells where one is "0" how
do I get it to preserve the first value rather than halving it? E.G what I need it to do is: 3+3 = 6, average score = 3 5+0 = 5 average score = 5 |

Try this:
=SUMIF(A1:A5,"<0")/COUNTIF(A1:A5,"<0") Ola Sandstrom |

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:B1,0)<0,SUM(A1:B1),AVERAGE(A1:B1))
or, if you need to extend this across more columns: =SUM(A1:K1)/COUNTIF(A1:K1,"<0") or an array formula (enter with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER): =AVERAGE(IF(A1:K1<0,A1:K1)) On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 10:05:04 -0800, "Mikewoodmsw" wrote: I am using the AVERAGE function but if i have two cells where one is "0" how do I get it to preserve the first value rather than halving it?

Mike,
Use =AVERAGE(IF(A1:A100,A1:A10)) which is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Mikewoodmsw" wrote in message ...
