I would like cell B2 to show the average of the next 5 non blank values in row 2 (C2-Z2). The problem is there are varying blank cells (non data points) depending on each row. So i need the forumula to account for just the first 5 immediate non blank cells.

The workbook is attached.
Columns B,C,D,E have the desired result in row 18.
What I want the formula to do is starting from row 13, go up and average the next 7 values that are not blank. If its easier, the starting point could be row 4 and I could adjust my data.
I have a scenario where I have a rolling list of sales figures which get added to each week that passes.
I need a formula that will calculate the last 5 weeks of sales and generate an average - which I think I have an idea how to do.
The sticking point is that so as not to skew the averages, when there has been an exceptionally busy or quiet day for a reason we know about I exclude the sales from that week.
This then interferes with the averages as it either takes it as a zero and lowers it or seems to stop formulas from working.
So to summarise:
Average of last 5 weeks sales
Excluding any blanks
Dynamic enough to always pick up the last 5 values in the list (i.e. the last 5 weeks)
I am having a dilemma on getting the average for the first 3 non blank cells. This is how my data looks like :

I don't know any formula that will disregard the non blank cell and will get the average of the firs 3 non blank cells from the right.
I have a problem and I found a good explanation of something similar here:

In the original posting the following formula solves the problem (attached) TestData.xlsx
B1: =AVERAGE(INDEX(B3:B100,MATCH(TRUE,B3:B100<>0,0)):INDEX(B3:B100,MATCH(TRUE,B3:B100<>0,0)+4))
What I would like to return is the average of the 1st 5 values, but what if a number of cells after the first value were also blank
Can I take average in a row ignoring blank cells and zero values.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo in Cell K12 there is a rather large formula (I condensed it for this example).
This formula is to average out the respective cells in column J. For each cell there is a possibility of 9 different entries. NRT, N/O, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
So based on the formula in K12 I need Cell J12 to Display the answer.
if any one of the Cells referenced in the formula are NRT then I need it to Display NRT. Which the Formula does now.
The problem comes in when a Cell is N/O (Not Observed)
How do I get the formula to Ignore N/O currently I have it set up to recognize N/O as 0. But excel averages 0 in and it affects the answer.
I know in a simple formula I can add <>0 to the formula to ignore zeros. How to write it into a bigger formula such as in K12.
For example the current numbers in Cells J17:J25 should average 5 however the formula averages it as 1 because it calculates N/O as 0.
I was done but the formula works great except if the cell is zero or blank I don't want it to include that cell in the average. in this case it still counts.
=IF(SUM(H32>0,H67>0,H102>0,H137>0)=0,0,SUM(H32,H67,H102,H137)/SUM(H32>0,H67>0,H102>0,H137>0))
I have an array formula that calculates the average of numbers between two dates:
{=AVERAGE(IF('Date Range'!$B:$B>$H$4,IF('Date Range'!$B:$B<=$B$3,'Numbers to Sum'!$C:$C)))*100}
The start date is the day after the date in H4 and the end date is in cell B3. The dates are in column B and the numbers to sum associated with these dates are in column C.
Some of the cells in column C are blank and my formula is taking these blanks into account in calculating the average, while I would prefer not to count them in the calculation.
Can someone please suggest how I could amend the formula above to accommodate this?
Cell D39 has the formula
=(D4+D11+D18+D25+D32)/5
I want the cell to remain blank until at least on variable is entered, but then I want it to calculate the average of only the cells that have a variable in them.
Just so I am clear
D4 = 20
D11 = 50
D 18 = BLANK
D25 = BLANK
D32 = BLANK
Average would be 35
I have a column of data that contains various blank cells where no data was measured. In the adjacent column I want to take the moving average of the last 4 data points including the most recent entry. My problem is i do not know how to handle blank cells where there was no data. I need it to average the last four in the column where data acutally exists. I am ok with using helper cells if needed and I am not worried about the first four results at this time.

I've got a spreadsheet that I do every month with columns of numbers that I average. This sheet has to match about 10 others similar. The columns are divided by Weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays. But some months there are no entries for certain cells on Saturday or Sunday.
I thought that if I just used the Average function, it would dismiss and not count the blank cells. Alas, apparently not. I've highlighted in yellow the one column that I'm really having trouble with.
I am trying to get a rolling 8wk avg of a large group of data. I am trying to take the avg of 8 vlookups:
=AVERAGE(VLOOKUP($A$9,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE),VLOOKUP($A$9-7,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE),VLOOKUP($A$9-14,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE),VLOOKUP($A$9-21,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE),VLOOKUP($A$9-28,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE),VLOOKUP($A$9-35,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE),VLOOKUP($A$9-42,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE),VLOOKUP($A$9-49,'Raw Data'!$A:$DV,MATCH(B8,'Raw Data'!$2:$2,0), FALSE))
However, in some cases, the cell to be looked-up may be blank. Using the formula above, the result of these vlookups is "0". I want to take the average of these vlookups excluding the blanks from the 'Raw Data' sheet.
I have a sequence of 40 columns of data, representing 10 weeks worth of events with 4 values per week
I need to average the first pair for each week, ignoring zeros and blanks, and also separately the 2nd pair of cells, across the whole 40 columns
I am trying to come up with a neater solution which takes into account the zeros, at the moment I have the following which does not, for row 34
=IF($AR34>0,ROUND(AVERAGE(D34:E34,H34:I34,L34:M34,P34:Q34,T34:U34,

I could use SUM, COUNT COUNTIF etc but its gonna get messy
Using EXCEL 2010
Is it possible to show "0" zero in the total average column without inputing zeros in the blank cells in row B3:E3 & B4:E4? There are months we receive no boat & RV orders, so those months wll be zero most of the time. Instead of having #DIV/0! it show 0, without having to input zero in cells to compute the average.

I have a list of 400 cells all in column A. Is there a way to have XL divide them up so that 100 are in column A, 100 in column B, etc., while still treating them like a single column (e.g. Sort will sort them all together)?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHere is the formula I am using however it interprets the blank cells as 0% and includes it in the average. To make it more difficult there will be some 0%'s.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to get a formula to calculate the average of the best 3 scores out of 4, but there is some that do not have a value in a cell (so some are only out of 3 scores not 4) and if i simply drop the lowest value and sum the rest, it will incorrectly calculate the average.
View 9 Replies View Relatedsumif problem but it wont work with a countif or average if.
Column A has various names and Column B has amounts, what I need is to count the number of occurances "John Smith" has an amount in Column B. The previous formula I tried was
=sumif(A:A,"John Smith",B:B) but with either countif or averageif it errors too many arguements.
I wasn't sure if Dcount or an array would be suitable but have not used them before.
Pivot tables I'm sure will be the future with this but haven't got to the foot of that mountain yet.
I'm looking for a function that will display the average of a row of cells, while at the same time not displaying any error messages. It's easy to average cells without blank values, but to combine that with no errors is difficult for me. I saw many ways to do the average, one of which is:
= SUM(A1:E1)/COUNTIF(A1:E1,">0")
That function doesn't work for a row of blank cells (i.e., hidden rows), though. The result is an error message.
I also read about a way to ignore an error in a computation:
=IF(ISERROR(F1),"",F1)
The problem is when I combine those functions I get a blank cell no matter which function I put first, and without regards to cell values or not. The reason I want this to be error-free is that I have to average the "average column" at the bottom of the table, too (i.e., F100).
Is there a formula that would allow you to take the average of all values within a range but not count the zero values? I thought something like this might work but it's not. Neither one worked.
=AVERAGEIF($E$4:$E$34,">0")
=AVERAGEIF(E4:E34,">0")
I have searched and trying to manipulate various formulas with no success...
I am entering an AverageIF formula into cell J15
I want to calculate the average of the folllowing ranges cells J5:J8,J10:J13

On reflection I am unsure an AverageIF formula is even correct.
I have a list of values on my spreadsheet in a similiar order to this:
17.91
16.59
15.00
14.86
13.56
12.17
11.01
0.0
I use the average function to work out an average for all the values, but since the value of 0.0 is showing i should not include this as an average. the range of values above (8) will always be the same for the month - so i need to find a way of omitting the 0 value without keep changing the formula
I have a column with values from P2 to P3077. I need a formula that would average values from P2:P6, P7:P11, P12:P16 and so on till the end (that is 5 data points each time till the end).

Column D: my data (the number to be averaged)
What I need the formula to do:
Look in Column B for every instance of "Sunday", and count them up (they count only if the data in column D is not 0) and use that number to average the number in column D
So if I have 52 Sundays and we are only 4 weeks into the year and the 4 data points are 50, 100, 75, 25. The average will be 62.5 instead of 4.8 (divided by 52).
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following problem:

I have a table of data covering the last 9 months based on values automatically collated from 15 minute intevals.
The date/time is in column A (01/01/2009 00:00) with the data collected in column D.
My wish is to get the average daily data from column D and I am slowly losing my head!!!
Is there anyway of getting a formula to auto-average the daily values bearing in mind there are currently 96 daily entries.
I have tried converting the first 5 digits of column A to numeric (i.e. 31894 for 01/01) then trying to write a formula saying =average(D1:D24577,if(range="31894",1)).
I can now see a simpler way but am so confused after an hour or so of trying.
Each day has 96 readings so I need an auto adding formula. average column cell A would say =average(D1:D96).
Is there are way to have the cell below auto-update itself to look at the next 96 values and so on and so forth?
away to average non 0 values from selected cells. So if the cell value is 0 do not include it in the denominator
This is what I'm trying, but I get error "#value!"

I have Column A which is an Employees birth Year, Column B which is salary, and Column C which is a list of Years.
