This should be a common problem, but I couldn't find the solution anywhere. 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 better way?

Which version http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91591 do I have? More... Microsoft Excel shows the #DIV/0! error when a number is divided by zero (0). It happens when you enter a simple formula like =5/0, or when a formula refers to a cell that has 0 or is blank, as shown in this picture. To correct the error, do any of the following: Make sure the divisor in the function or formula isn’t zero or a blank cell. Change https://support.office.com/en-us/article/How-to-correct-a-DIV-0-error-3a5a18a9-8d80-4ebb-a908-39e759a009a5 the cell reference in the formula to another cell that doesn’t have a zero (0) or blank value. Enter #N/A in the cell that’s referenced as the divisor in the formula, which will change the formula result to #N/A to indicate the divisor value isn’t available. Many times the #DIV/0! error can’t be avoided because your formulas are waiting for input from you or someone else. In that case, you don’t want the error message to display at all, so there are a few error handling methods that you can use to suppress the error while you wait for input. Evaluate the denominator for 0 or no value The simplest way to suppress the #DIV/0! error is to use the IF function to evaluate the existence of the denominator. If it’s a 0 or no value, then show a 0 or no value as the formula result instead of the #DIV/0! error value, otherwise calculate the formula. For example, if the formula that returns the error is =A2/A3, use =IF(A3,0,A2/A3) to return 0 or =IF(A3,A2/A3,””) to return an empty string. You could also display a custom message like this: =IF(A3,A2/A3,”Input Needed”). With the QUOTIENT function from the first example you would use =IF(A3,QUOTIENT(A2,A3),0). This tells Excel IF(A3 exists, then return the result of the formula, otherw

If you want to exclude zeroes, use these alternatives. By Susan Harkins | in Microsoft Office, June 20, 2012, 4:49 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus Excel's AVERAGE() function considers zero values in its calculations, which is divide by zero probably what you'd expect, but not necessarily what you want. Over the years, I've seen many formulas that ignore zero value and most are more convoluted than they need to be. If you're using Excel 2007 or 2010, the solution is much easier than it used to be, thanks to the new AVERAGEIF() function. This function uses the following syntax to return an average, based on a condition: AVERAGEIF(average,criteria,averagerange) The first two arguments are required; average is a reference to the cells you want averaged and criteria is the expression the referenced values must satisfy. To exclude zero values, you'd use the criteria <>0. Specifically, the function in C6, =AVERAGEIF(B2:B5,"<>0"), averages the values in B2:B5 only if they don't equal 0. Column B uses the traditional AVERAGE(), which includes zero. Column A uses the formula, =(A2+A3+A4+A5)/4, to find the average. Be careful when choosing AVERAGEIF() because it ignores empty cells and that might not be what you want either. If you need a formula that that doesn't ignore empty cells or if you're still using Excel 2003, you can use a fo

I am trying to get an average figure for a column of data that is in this format 00:00:00 , I need the result to display in the same format. If I use the normal average function, I get a divide by zero error. I exported this data from SAP, and just need to know the average time taken to do a task. Please look at the attached pic and see if you can show me a formula for averaging column 'M' Thanks, EvileYe Attached Files: Spreadsheet.JPG File size: 95.7 KB Views: 530 EvileYe, Oct 1, 2004 #1 Sponsor Rockn Joined: Jul 29, 2001 Messages: 21,335 Because that time format cannot be averaged. You need to use a number format instead of time to do the average. What is the custom format you are using in the cells? Rockn, Oct 1, 2004 #2 EvileYe Thread Starter Joined: Aug 30, 2003 Messages: 1,281 I have tried using Number Formats, General Formats,Custom Formats I have tried a lot of different formatting in the cells, and it still gives me the same error. If it was convenient I could remove the leading zero's, but I don't want to do this to over 700 cells every time I use it. Any idea's on specific formats or anything else ?
