IF, COUNTIF, AVG, MIN/MAX all in one!

[mphillips]

Okay... In Column O Row 5 through 19...

I need a formula in Column O Row 20 that states:

IF the rows 5:19 have a count that is greater than >=5 then AVG those rows (minus the MAX and MIN #) if the count is <5 then average the rows.
AND I only want it to average the numbers that are not blank!

Please help.

Hi,

It is all ways difficult to assume data.

I hope this will help you,

Try this...
=IF(COUNT($O$5:$O$19)>5,AVERAGEIFS($O$5:$O$19,$O$5:$O$19,"<"&MAX($O$5:$O$19),$O$5:$O$19,">"&MIN($O$5:$O$19)),AVERAGE($O$5:$O$19))

average excludes blanks by default

I've attached an example of the data and the answer I am looking for as for some reason the two formulas that are above do not seem to be returning what I'm hoping it will.

OK you said blank. 0 is not blank

Try this ARRAY formula...
=IF(COUNTIF(C3:C17,">0")>=5,AVERAGEIFS(C3:C17,C3:C17,"<>0",C3:C17,"<"&MAX(C3:C17),C3:C17,">"&SMALL(IF(C3:C18<>0,C3:C18),1)),AVERAGEIF(C3:C17,">0"))

...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

That works great if the count is less than five, but I'm getting the #DIV/0 error if there are more than 5, with the removal of the MIN/MAX.

HI,

Check this i guess u r requirement is not at clear ,

1) Do u have have "0" values all time the column
2) Count >5 , should include "Zero" Values

OK, Im not seeing that error. Take a look at the attached, my formula is in yellow, and I added another example with 6 values.

Did you use CTRL SHFT ENTER to enter it?

[Punnam]

Check this
=IF((COUNTIF(G3:G17,">"&0))>=5,AVERAGEIFS(G3:G17,G3:G17,"<"&MAX(G3:G17),G3:G17,">"&SMALL((G3:G17),COUNTIF(G3:G17,0)+1)),AVERAGEIFS(G3:G17,G3:G17,"<>"&0))

The Example (17) worked perfectly, once I changed the 0's to be blank. Thank you all so much for your help!
