Taking Average ignoring #DIV/0! in the range...
Currently if I use the average function for the months, it will show the
results to be "#DIV/0!". What formula can I use such that when theres only data for 4 months, it will only take average of 4 months and if theres 5 months data it will only take average of 5 months and so on instead of showing me "#DIV/0!". Please help. Thanks!

The easiest way to handle this would be to change the formulas so they don't
return errors. For example: =IF(ISERROR(your_formula),"",your_formula) These will ignore the errors: =IF(COUNT(B1:B12),SUMIF(B1:B12,"1E100")/COUNT(B1:B12),"") This one is an array formula** : =IF(COUNT(B1:B12),AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(B1:B12),B1:B 12)),"") ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Astro" wrote in message ...
