In Access what expression do I use to average a field ignoring 0?
I have a report that calculates the average of a requested field. The average
is not correct due to "0" values in some of the records. What expression do I use in the Control Source to ignore the 0 entries? I tried to adapt the one I use in Excel but did not get the results I was looking for. Thanks for the help. |

Consider stepping back and doing the selection and averaging in a query on
which you then base your report. If you don't wish to include rows whose value in the field is 0, exclude them from the query.
