Div 0 Error Irr Excel
the AVERAGE function always returns a DIV0 error. I have tried cleaning and trimming the cells and have made sure that the cells are number formatted (I also tried accounting format to see if that would make a difference). Does anyone know why this might be happening? For example, the values might be: -1.10 -2.30 4.00 -2.15 3.25 I should note that this data was copied from the web and so I am wondering if it might be an issue with the way div 0 error in calculated field it was pasted. I do not think it pasted as a picture or anything strange like that since I can still add or remove digits from each cell without issue. excel share|improve this question edited May 1 '14 at 15:45 asked May 1 '14 at 15:40 114 2231521 closed as off-topic by jonrsharpe, simoco, Mark Rotteveel, EdChum, Michael Roland May 2 '14 at 7:33 This question appears to be off-topic.

If not, I suspect your issue may be that the cells are stored as text rather than numbers. –Phylogenesis May 1 '14 at 15:43 @Phylogenesis You might be right, changing the format to accounting does not actually change the look of the cells, although when moving over any given cell the format is described as accounting. This persists even if I open up the formatting menu. Is there an easy fix for this kind of problem? –114 May 1 '1

Enter this formula by using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER as it is an array formula: =AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A10),A1:A10,"")) -- Regards, Dave "KhaVu" http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=499462 wrote: > I used AVERAGE function in my spreasheet and received #DIV/0! error from it. > Is there a safe proof way to omit the invalid values out of the average > calculation. Register To Reply 01-09-2006,01:15 PM #3 Ron Coderre Guest RE: AVERAGE function returns #DIV/0! error #DIV/0! means there are no numbers in the range you are tryng to average. Make sure the range contains at least one number and check that values that look like numbers actually are numbers (no leading apostrophes or extra spaces). If the range will contain no values until they are input, you may want to use something like this: =IF(COUNT(A1:A10)=0,"no data to average",AVERAGE(A1:A10)) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "KhaVu" wrote: > I used AVERAGE function in my spreasheet and received #DIV/0! error from it. > Is there a safe proof way to omit the invalid values out of the average > calculation.

I have a spreadsheet for work to track our sales staff closing percentage. I have a column, L12 through L42 (31 rows, one for each day of the week) that the manager needs to send to me daily showing closing percentages. I have a cell at the bottom that I want to display a running average. div 0 error So the days that have not yet been filled in show a #DIV/0! error. How can I find the Average of all the cells that have a percentage filled in, but exclude the ones that are displaying the error so that I can see the running average. Thanks!
