One more problem and this spreadsheet should be done...

I need to average the results in a number of cells
(C32+H32+C58+H58+C84+H84) without including cells that have a value of
0.0%

I have tried:
=AVERAGE(IF((C32+H32+C58+H58+C84+H84)=0,(C32+H32+ C58+H58+C84+H84)))
but this just seems to Add everything together

I can't sum the cells and then divide by a COUNTIF becuase it won't let
me select anything other than a range.

Any suggestions? Is it even possible?

Thanks

I do not understand why you cannot use COUNTIF()

=SUM(A:A)/COUNTIF(A:A,"0")

You can use this approach when the list of individual cells is not
long:

=SUM(MAX(C32,0),MAX(H32,0),MAX(C58,0),MAX(H58,0),M AX(C84,0),MAX(H84,0))/SUM((C320),(H320),(C580),(H580),(C840),(H840 ))


Does that help?

raeleanne,

=(C32+H32+C58+H58+C84+H84)/SUM(IF(C32<0,1,0),IF(H32<0,1,0),......)

Hi!

Create a named range for C32,H32,C58,H58,C84,H84.

=SUM(named_range)/SUMPRODUCT((MOD(ROW(32:84),26)=6)*(C32:C840)+(H32 :H840))

You can't use COUNTIF on cells that are not in a range and I was not
sure how to make noncontinuous cells into a range.

=SUM(MAX(C32,0),MAX(H32,0),MAX(C58,0),MAX(H58,0),M
AX(C84,0),MAX(H84,0))/SUM((C320),(H320),(C580),(H580),(C840),(H840 ))
gives me an error of #NAME?

=(C32+H32+C58+H58+C84+H84)/SUM(IF(C32<0,1,0),IF(H32<0,1,0),......)
works.

Thank you so much. It is not easy to do but I think it is one of the
best solutions.

Thanks again for all of your help. The Spreadsheet is done!!!! yeah
:)

Try...

=AVERAGE(IF(N(INDIRECT({"C32","C58","C84","H32","H 58","H84}))0,N(INDIRECT({"C32","C58","C84","H32", "H58","H84}))))

or

=AVERAGE(IF(SMALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),{1,2,3 ,4,5,6})0,SMALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),{1,2,3, 4,5,6})))

Both these formulas need to be confired with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not
just ENTER.

Hope this helps!

Nicely done, Domenic.

I think wrapping either of them in a MAX, MIN, or SUMPRODUCT function
will eliminate the need for CSE:

=MAX(AVERAGE(IF(N(INDIRECT({"C32","C58","C84","H32 ","H58","H84"}))0,N(INDIRECT({"C32","C58","C84"," H32","H58","H84"})))))

=MIN(AVERAGE(IF(SMALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),{1 ,2,3,4,5,6})0,SMALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),{1, 2,3,4,5,6}))))

Regards,
Ron

Thanks Ron! I came across the second formula a couple of days ago.
It's definitely an interesting way to deal with non-contiguous cells.
The advantage is that it doesn't use the INDIRECT function, which as
you know is volatile. But the disadvantage is that the formula, as it
stands, doesn't allow for empty cells. In this case, the formula could
be changed as follows...

=AVERAGE(IF(SMALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),ROW(IN DIRECT("1:"&COUNT(C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84))))0,SM ALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&CO UNT(C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84))))))

I think wrapping either of them in a MAX, MIN, or SUMPRODUCT function
will eliminate the need for CSE:

=MAX(AVERAGE(IF(N(INDIRECT({"C32","C58","C84","H32 ","H58","H84"}))0,N(INDIRECT({"C32","C58","C84"," H32","H58","H84"})))))

=MIN(AVERAGE(IF(SMALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),{1 ,2,3,4,5,6})0,SMALL((C32,C58,C84,H32,H58,H84),{1, 2,3,4,5,6}))))

While that would certainly work, my preference is to exclude the MAX
and MIN functions and confirm the formula with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
But that's just my personal preference. :)
