{=AVERAGE(IF((C3:C325<M4), C3:C325))}

[Nebbez]

Hi, I will need anyones assistance on this please... Cant figure it
out..

I have this formula that I use to compute averages given a criteria,
{=AVERAGE(IF((C3:C325<M4), C3:C325))}

when I try to change it to {=AVERAGE(IF((C:C<M4), C:C))}, it doesnt
work because it takes into consideration all cells in the C column.

How can I get it only to take into consideration the non blank cells in
the C column instead of all of the cells? (knowing that I do now want to
specify everytime C#:C###)...

Any tips?

The reason is that it is an array formula, and these are restricted to 65535
items, so you could do

=AVERAGE(IF(C1:C65535<N4,C1:C65535))

as an array formula
