Conditional Median

Hello,

I am a newbie here.

I would just like to ask questions that has been bugging me for about a month now.

1. How do I get the median of a row or a column without including the zeroes? (This will affect my result)

2. How do I get the median specifying some conditions? (i.e. I only want to get the median of column 2 if its corresponding column 1 meets my conditions)? Further example - I have a database, column 1 lists the fruit types (apples, oranges etc.) column 2 lists the percent sugar content. Now I only want to get the median of the apples....

3. Finally, can I make a syntax that will combine my query 1 and query 2 (Multiple conditions) So far, I've only succeeded in doing both separately, not combining them in one syntax.

Please help me...

Many thanks...

=MEDIAN(IF(B2:B10>0,B2:B10))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER
