![]() I need help using ISERROR to ignore Div/0! values in a list of cells I'm trying to average. My problem is that when I use ISERROR to replace the Div/0! with "" I now get a #Value! error instead. Here's the steps I've been following: I have times for each week that I have averaged. However, some weeks have no times which leaves me with a Div/0!. I now want to do a total average for the whole month of each week. So, I did this formula: =AVERAGE(D40,D70,D100,D130,D160,D190) [Where Dxx is a cell for each week that has averaged those times during the week] However, some of those cell numbers for each week represent a Div/0! value because there was no time set. So, it's like: =AVERAGE(2,4,6,8,10,Div/0!) I tried to get it to ignore the Div/0! value in that cell by using ISERROR like so: IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(D190)),"",AVERAGE(D190)) [Note:Using ,0, would skew my average] Now my Average looks like this: =AVERAGE(IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(D40)),"",AVERAGE(D40)) ,IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(D70)),"",AVERAGE(D70)),IF(ISER ROR(AVERAGE(D100)),"",AVERAGE(D100)),IF(ISERROR(AV ERAGE(D130)),"",AVERAGE(D130)),IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE( D160)),"",AVERAGE(D160)),IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(D190)) ,"",AVERAGE(D190))) I've tried to get the Average to ignore the Div/0! error by treating that cell as being empty by using "". But now when it tries to average the series of numbers, the cell that had Div/0! replaced by "" shows a #Value! error. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Sorry, for the length of the post, I wanted to be thorough. Finally, I realize that I'm doing a monthly average of weekly averages of each day (an average of averages). But doing a monthly average of all the days instead of each week's calculated average gives the same problem of ignoring Div/0! errors and getting #Value! errors instead. -- durerca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ durerca's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36318 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=560977 |
