sum cells with numbers
This shouldn't be too diffacult but I can't seem to find the function that
would allow me to sum the cells with numbers and then divide that by the number of blank cells. e.g. cells A1:A5, if A1 is 5, A2 is 10 and cells A3 through A5 are blank then the answer would be 5. 5+10/3=5 I tried isnumber and isblank but that doesn't work. Any ideas? |

sum cells with numbers
What result do you want if all the cells contain numbers?

A play using COUNTBLANK might suffice:
=IF(COUNTBLANK(A1:A5)=0,"",SUM(A1:A5)/COUNTBLANK(A1:A5)) If there's no blank cells, it'll return a blank: "" -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "mmcap" wrote: This shouldn't be too difficult but I can't seem to find the function that would allow me to sum the cells with numbers and then divide that by the number of blank cells. e.g. cells A1:A5, if A1 is 5, A2 is 10 and cells A3 through A5 are blank then the answer would be 5. 5+10/3=5 I tried isnumber and isblank but that doesn't work.

Hi
Assuming you just want the sum of the numbers if there are no blanks in the range, then one way would be =SUM(A1:A5)/MAX(1,COUNTIF(A1:A5,"")) -- Regards Roger Govier "mmcap" wrote in message ...
