Default Calculating Averages

Good afternoon John,

I tried the other formula once again and it returned a value; it added
instead of averaging. Also, when i enter NA, it does not return a value at
all, it simply goes blank.

I apologize for the inconvinience and do appreicate your help with this.
What can i do to get it to Average instead of adding and to factor in the NA
in order to set it to Null.

Sorry, but I can't see why you are getting error returned. You might try

Avg(IIF(IsNumeric([Score A],Val[Score A],Null))

Does that work to return a value? If so, then try adding the other parts
one at a time and see if they work.

Good morning John,

I tried that but it gave me #error. I thought i might've been doing
something wrong.

Other suggestions.

I appreciate your help. Await your response.

Avg(IIF([Score A] = "NA",Null, Val([Score A]))) +
Avg(IIF([Score B] = "NA",Null, Val([Score B]))) +
Avg(IIF([Score C] = "NA",Null, Val([Score C]))) + ...

I am not sure why you are adding the averages but if that is what you
want to do then this will work.

If you want the average score for A and the average score for B then you
need to do the calculation in separate fields.n
