    Count the nuber of cells that have a value above their average

    Hi,

    I want to count the number of cells that have a value that is above the average of all of them. Ive tried the COUNTIF formula but no luck. Any assistance would be appreciated. I reckon this will be an easy one for someone! Thanks. Sample attached.

    You need to do countif, but with your avarage formula as the criteria.
    Hope this helps

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.

    Sorry, I dont understand. So in cell J3, should I have: =COUNTIF(C3:H3,">A3") ? That doesnt work for me. Thanks

    Re: Count the nuber of cells that have a value above their average

    =COUNTIF(C3:H3,">A3") is text not a cell reference
    it should be
    =COUNTIF(C3:H3,">"&A3)

    Try this solution with one formula

    =COUNTIF(C3:H3,">="&INT(AVERAGEIF(C3:H3,">0")))
