I am trying to get the average of the last 6 data entries not including blanks or zeroes.
Currently I have:
{=AVERAGE(INDEX(C2:CP2,LARGE(IF(C2:CP2<>"",COLUMN(C2:CP2)-COLUMN(C2)+1),6)):CP2)}
Which works fine when I've got 6 or more values in the row.
But if there are less that 6 values in the row it returns with #NUM!. Is there a way to add an IF ERROR THEN make = to AVERAGE of C2:CP2?
Attached is an xls with my formulas and problem. We need a way to factor in zeros in grading student workers. 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 am looking for a formula for the following:
If there is nothing is U6:W6 return blank
Otherwise sum the contents of Bf6:BH6 and divide by the number of cells that are not empty in the range U6:W6 (to get an average of only the values in that range not including blanks).
How you can find the min with simpler ranges, but my equation doesn't work with what I've found so far. I want to skip the zeroes and blanks.
=IF(AC44>0,(MIN((FS13+FL13),(FS18+FL18),(FS23+FL23),(FS28+FL28),(FS$417+FL$417),
(FS$422+FL$422),(FS$427+FL$427),(FS$432+FL$432))) ,)
see the attached. The array formulas in B2:C3 are operating on the table in E2:F5. These are quite simple formulas as you'll see.
The formula in B3 is identical to that in B2 apart from the fact that the first array is wrapped in an IFERROR (there are actually no errors in the array, but that's not the point).
As you can see, the formula in B2 evaluates E3 as ="", and so the corresponding entry in F3 is ignored in the sum. Quite normal.
However, the identical formula, but with an IFERROR first acting on Array1 now evaluates the same cell as <>"", and so F3 is this time included in the sum.
What action has the IFERROR had on this array? Clearly, E3 is not an error, so a "blank" should still be passed, unchanged, to the function.
I have included identical versions of the formulas, but with Named Ranges replacing the actual range references. The reason is that, with these versions, if you step through the formulas with Evaluate Formula, for example with the formula in C2, you can see that Excel "temporarily interprets" the blank in E3 as a zero (this is nothing new, though I've never fully understood why it can't display a "" here as well) before then equating this "zero" as being a "blank".
Perhaps somehow, after being passed to the IFERROR, this "zero" is processed so that, when passed on, even though it still “displays” as a zero, for some reason it is no longer considered equivalent to "".
I am using a formula to include all values greater than zero in my average which has worked fine until i tried to extend the parameters, then it gives me the Value? sign. Does anyone know another way to accomplish what i want?
here is what i am using now.
=average(if(BZ28:CM28<>0, BZ28:CM28, " "))
i was trying to make the CM extend to CS, but for some reason it is not working.
Anyway, i figure a different equation might be better than what i
have and solve my problem.
Average formula that will give an accurate answer. My issue is that I need an average of what has been entered rather than for the entire selection. I have paste link transposed the data as it needs to run on Excel 2003 which can only hold 30 items in the Average(number1, number 2 ... etc) and I need 52. My problem occurs when the data is paste linked all blank cells appear as a Zero therefore increasing the count of the average and providing a wrong answer.
Eg when (1, 2, 0, 3) Average = 1.5 is entered the formula works out (1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, etc) Average = 0.12 because it divides by 52 instead of 4. As you can see I can't ignore zeros as they are a possible input. What would be perfect is for the paste link to paste the blank cells instead of the providing a zero then the plan =Average(B3:B55) would be fine.
(Note: the new entered data is on the same row but different columns hence the reason for the paste link transpose to get all the data in one column)
My spreadsheet is too large to attach so I'll describe it as best I can. I have names in column H, which are repeated irregularly. I have corresponding grade numbers (1-5) in column I, and I have the dates they were entered in column J. It looks something like this:
Column H Column I Column J
Name 1 4 8/10/08
Name 2 3.5 8/11/08
Name 1 5 8/11/08
Name 5 4 8/12/08
Etc....
I want to average the grades (column I) for a certain name (column H) within the last 30 days, or however many days I enter. I'm using Excel 2003 with the analysis add-in. I can use SUMIF to include any two columns, but how can I write an average grade formula using both the name and date conditions?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a formula to calculate an average value for a reference range:
= SUMIF(DATA!B32:B61,"<># div/0")/MAX(1,COUNTIF(DATA!B32:B61,))

I 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))}

for example, let's say I have a spreadsheet of 5 baseball players' batting averages (rows are team game number played, columns are at bats and hits for each player). I want to see how each player has performed in their last 10 games played, but some players have not played in every game.

Average of test 1 = 40.8
Average of test 2 = 39.9
Average of test 3 = 94.8
Average of dept using the averageifs is 41.3

In column A I have a list of text. There are blank lines in between the cell that actually contain text. What I am trying to accomplish is create a validation list that will give me only the cells with text in them and ignore the blanks. For example in column A1:A7 I have the following text:

My validation list will return those names but will also give me the blanks in between the names.
Is there any way to ignore the blanks?
