Formula Average

[ferg]

Need a formula to average a range of cells but only if there are numbers so I dont get a zero.
=AVERAGE(IF(E8:N8,E8:N8)) this is what I'v tried but I just get #VALUE!
Thanx

the normal average function will ignore non numeric values

if there are no numbers in the range

if(iserror(average(e8:n8)),"",average(e8:n8))

otherwise the previous post but it will give 0 if the range is blank, it depends what youwant
