Hello All, I have an SC spreadsheet with the following 10 rows. What formula could I use to create an average of the non-zero values? 9634 9636 9638 9640 0 0 0 0 0 0 =AVERAGE(A1:A10) is returning 3854.8 when the number I really want is =AVERAGEofNonZeroValues(A1:A10) returning 9637 Thank you. |

One method NOT using the AVERAGE function. SC spreadsheet formulas are entered in row 3. Assuming your numbers 9634-9640-0 are in column K row 3 to row 12 (10 rows) Type in column L, row 3 =IF(K3<>0,1,0) Type in column M, row 3 =SUM(L3:L12) Type in column N, row 3 =SUM(K3:K12)/M3 Column N row 3 is the average of non zero numbers in column K, row 3 to row 12 (10 rows) Note above is untested.

If you want to put it in a single formula, you can use =SUM(A1:A10)/SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10<>0)) |

Also if you wanted to use multiple conditions, e.g. not zero and less than 500, then you could use something like =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10<>0), --(A1:A10<500), A1:A10)/SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10<>0), --(A1:A10<500)) |
