    How do I get the average across multiple cells not in a range and not count the zeros/text

    So...long winded heading!

    hi sponge_designs, you can try this array formula:
    =AVERAGE(IF(C5:R5<>0,C5:R5))
    you have to paste the formula inside the formula bar & press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER. When done correctly, you should see curly brackets surrounding it

    or in Excel 2007 & above, this regular formula:
    =AVERAGEIF(C5:R5,"<>0")

    Yes, but no. Thats a cell range, and I only have select cells I want to average.
