Error Handling #N/A with AVERAGE Function - Average of values in Row

[Sam via OfficeKB.com]

Hi All,

I have a spreadsheet with an Array entered Formula (based on Rows using the
TRANSPOSE Function) that produces the #N/A error when no further data is
available to be calculated: this in itself is fine - the #N/A is disguised
with Conditional Formatting. However, if possible, I would like to find the
AVERAGE of the values in each Row excluding those cells with #N/A from the
calculation.

I've tried a few variations using either the ISERROR or ISNA Function nested
with the AVERAGE Function. I get either zero or #N/A returned.

The original Formulae providing the results that I now wish to Average was
brilliantly created by Dominic in this previous Post: "Count Intervals of
Filtered TEXT values in Column and Return Count across a Row"

The values returned from the above Formulae is numeric and formatted as
GENERAL.

Thanks
Sam

try this array formula entered with ctrl+shift+enter
=AVERAGE(IF(NOT(ISERROR($C$8:$C$10)),$C$8:$C$10))

Hi!

He has a habit of doing that!

=SUMIF(A1:E1,"<>#N/A")/COUNTIF(A1:E1,">0")

Believe there's a typo there ... should be: Domenic

I'm guessing <g> it should read as: > She has a habit of doing that!

My apologies if Domenic is not a "he" !

Domenic, sounds like a "he" to me! BWDIK!

Hi Biff,

Thank you very much - your Formula works well too.

Thanks

Hi Max,

I thought I'd do the honourable thing and own up to my typo that started this
conversation. It is Domenic, as you said.

Cheers

... and perhaps Domenic could put to rest our guesses <g> !

... It is Domenic, as you said.

well <g> .. I did trace the link you posted to double-check ..

An alternative to the solutions provided by Biff and Don would be to
change the formula to return a blank instead of #N/A...

1) Select NewSheet!B8:L8

2) Enter the following formula:

=IF(COLUMN()-COLUMN(B8)+1<COUNTIF(Range,A8)+(FirstRow=""),TRANSPOSE(Array
2-Array1)-1,"")

3) Confirm with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER

In this case, there would be no need to use conditional formatting.

Hope this helps!

I just checked and it seems that I'm a 'he'. <VBG>

So it looks like Biff get's the C-gar! <BG>

Thanks, Domenic !
Another intuitive guess bites the dust .. <bg>
