I want to take an average of only non-zero numbers in a range of cells containing a few zeros. I know there is a function to do this, but I haven't been able to find it. With the normal average() function, the denominator is too large as cells with 0 are included.

What I would like to do is average only every other cell AND also not count zeros. So =average(B38,D38,F38,J38,L38) generally the idea not averaging H38 & N38 since they are both zeros.
I would like to average a non-continuous range of cells while also excluding all zeros.
I am averaging hours worked and the hours are found in cells:
B2, D2, F2, H2, J2, L2, N2
Some of these cells contain zeros at this time and I do not what to include the zeros in the average.
I have found formulas that would work but they are all with continuous cell ranges.
I am trying to do the following.
Monday=0
Tuesday=5
Wednesday=10
Thursday=0
Friday=5
Saturday=0
Sunday=0
Averages
Monday=0
Tuesday=5
Wednesday=7.5
Thursday=0 (I have got a value return of 7.5)
Friday=5
Saturday=0 (I have got a value return of 5)
Sunday=0 (I have got a value return of 5)
I need to work out averages for cells higher than zeros, in other words, I need to ignore those.
Also say I have got an average of 5 by Tuesday and no number yet for the rest of the week, I still get an average of 5 for all days left which I do not want.
I am using excel 2003 and formula =SUM(RANGE)/COUNTIF(RANGE,">=0").

View 14 Replies View RelatedI current have an Excel doc that I am trying to pull averages from. Every row has data that needs to be averaged but I only need every other cell. And I cannot have zeros in the average because it will skew the data. Also if the average for a row ends up being 0, I want that average to show up as 0 not #DIV/0!. From Column H to EE I need to average each row individually.
I came up with the below formula.
=IF(SUM(H1:H1:J1:J1:L1:L1)=0, "0", AVERAGEIF(H1:H1:J1:J1:L1:L1, ">0")
It works but Its not practical because I have to manually enter all of the cells that it pulls from.
I'm trying to return the average, min and max values of a range that will have errors, be blank or have zeros. I have already found an array formula that works getting rid of the errors but the zeros are now a problem.
{=AVERAGE(IF(NOT(ISERROR(D27:G27)),D27:G27))}
I was thinking that an OR might be needed but for the life of me can't figure out where it belongs. I will also be using this formula with both MIN and MAX in the adjacent cells so it would be great if all I have to do is swap those in for AVERAGE. I'm not keen on how array formulas work, just found an example similar to this on the interwebs, and I'm curious why if the array brackets are removed the value returned is 0 and not an error.
Workbook is proprietary so VB is locked and not an option (not sure if it was but wanted to be clear).
I've got a worksheet that has chronological quarterly data for which I'd like to do a 5-year rolling average. The layout is: Column A = Dates, Column B = Values, and Column C = 5-year Rolling Average. My problem is that I want to exclude zero-values from the averaging calculation. I tried the following:
={AVERAGE(IF(B1,B5,B9,B13,B170,B1,B5,B9,B13,B17))}
However, Excel will not accept this formula (I assume an array must be contiguous? Please let me know if that's correct).
I have a one column of numbers...let's say consisting of six rows
the following numbers 12,0,14,25,0,9
if I average this it comes out to 10
how can I average the same rows but exclude the zeros in the outcome(is there a formula to do that?)
I would like the answer to be 15.....I still need the zero's in the rows however
I am trying to make a excell spread sheet that will calculate my students averages for the year. I need to account for zeros in the coarse and I want this excel sheet to track the current average all year long . So I do not need to include my blanks in the average as I go. Also , how do I formulate my average accum to show this formula - Test scores, four of them count as 80% of the total grade. So each test is worth 20% / Lab 10% of total grade and homework is additional 10%. I downloaded the templete from MSN and have tweaked it to my liking except for the coding above. Please advise. I am a below par on Excel. My attachemtn is below of my templete. One note. the templete gave me the room to include 13 ros of homework - but I will not necessarily use all of them... I can make it one row for home work only ....

However, we also need a way to omit blank or null cells if the workers did not do a particular project. The formulas currently in the sheet compute zeros for both scenarios, lowering the overall 'grade' for workers who didn't do a project compared with workers who did the project but got a '0'
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have run into a problem with the array formula. After inserting formula with the CTRL+SHFT+Enter it is giving me the same sum to the 3 cells that I had array formulas in but trying to capture different data from what was in the capturing column. Example:
If row F consists of text types: Move-in, Mid Year, and Year End as potential options,and row G is the score for that text type(cells will consist percentages), give me the average of all the cells in row G that are specific to Move-In only, but don't include the blanks in the average.
My existing formula isn't designated to exclude the blanks. how to exclude blanks and how to get it to stop giving me the same result in the three separate cells. My current formula is as such: {=AVERAGE(IF(F2:F73=E76, H2:H73))}
I am working with averages of ACT scores and Class rank percentages. I cannot figure out how to exclude all the zeros and/or DNR (do not rank) values that are in those columns. For example if I have 10 items, and 2 are DNR, the I want to exclude the 2 DNR's in my average. I tried putting it in the Row or Column area and unchecking what I wanted to exclude and then drag it into the data area, but that didn't work either.

My company has projects that come and go (and are hidden when they are gone) and at times, those projects return 0s because we do not work on them for a short period... so, when I average a column, I need to exclude both situations.

This is info I have in a column
The formula in each cell is
=REPLACE(Track!B58,5,11,"") the reason behind this is that the info originally is entered into one cell like 25.0 x 32.0 and I wanted to use a part of the cell for column A and the other for column B.

My dilema is that I want to average the row which I have tried loads of formulas etc which are not working
I use this as sometimes not all cells are filled in so I want it to average only the data avaliable and discard any ZEROS.
=AVERAGE(IF(B28:B41>0,B28:B41))
However when I use this formula it is just coming up with
#DIV/0!
how to enter a correct formula so I can get the average.
E11 through E24 contains numbers and a few errors (#N/A) that need to persist (the errors need to show).
E10 needs to show the average of the numbers that are in E11 through E24, and just ignore the errors.
I have many columns like that - where the errors need to show and I need to show an average of the number/values that do appear, ignoring the errors.
I have a spreadsheet for which I have to set up a formula to get the minimum value from a range of cells, but that range can include blank cells, errors (#DIV/0) and zeros, all of which I want to be ignored. I can work out how to ignore EITHER the zeros
(=MIN(IF(C10:G100,C10:G10)),
or the error cells
(=MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(C9:G9),C9:G9)),
How to exclude both. If I try to combine both of these exclusion criteria it doesn't work and I end up with the answer #DIV/0, which is one of the values I want it to ignore.
with the data in the attached sheet, I create several different pivot tables that need show the count of the information in the columns M:DU. My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate.
What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell.
Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.
I’ve created a formula for this statistic and I’m happy with the results. Because I’m working with formulas, my only problem is the unwanted zeros. How do I hide zeros that show up automatically (i.e. #3 [blank] and Nov 09-June 10)? I can hide the numbers, but if I enter a zero to one of my future statistics it will not appear and I don’t want that to happen. Is there a way to hide those automatic zeros without affecting my real zeros?

I am basically making a sheet that counts attendance, everytime an X is placed in a particular cell another cell counts that x. So if there are 25 x’s in one row, another cell will automatically add those x’s to show 25. That isn’t my problem. My Problem is the cell that contains the countif formula that adds the x’s are all 0 if there is no data for it to add. I want to make it blank because right now I have a whole bunch of 0’s going down one column and can’t figure how to get rid of it.
Right now I am using: =COUNTIF(C20:X20,"x"). I normally would take the time to research and look through your forums however I do not have the time at the moment and was hoping for a fast answer.
I am calculating ratios to show as 1:0 or 3:2 etc using this formula: =IFERROR(CONCATENATE((K2/GCD(K2,N2)),":",((N2/GCD(K2,N2)))),"Nil")... I have a lot of columns that have zeros in them and the formula i am using doesn't seem to work for those...
Example
A B
3 6 should equal: 1:2 works OK
2 0 should equal: 2:0 my current result: 1:0
3 0 should equal: 3:0 my current result: 1:0
0 1 should equal: 0:1 works OK
0 0 should equal: Nil works OK
4 1 should equal: 4:1 works OK
Anything with a zero in the first column comes up as 1:0

I had been trying to calculate cells that contain numbers with leading zeros.
I can't convert the cells to TEXT because Formulas don't work in TEXT Cells.
I cant use Custom Formatting because the rows may contain different number of leading zeros.
Also Is there a way that I can trim the numbers from Col A and put them in C?
Currently I don't like having to change the RIGHT(G2, 3) to RIGHT(G2, 4)
