Hi Everyone,
So I need a formula that allows me to find the average of a column within a chart while ignoring duplicate values and blank cells.
I tried using this formula:
=AVERAGE(IF(FREQUENCY([$AMOUNT],[$AMOUNT]),[$AMOUNT]))
but it doesn't work if there are blank cells present.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Maybe a better solution exists, but using your formula as a basis:
=AVERAGE(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(ISBLANK(array),MAX(array),array),array),IF(ISBLANK(array),MAX(array),array)))
Enter as an array formula (Ctrl-Shift-Enter)

Hi,
I tried the formula you suggested and it is giving me an error "#N/A"
Did you enter it properly as an array formula?
Array formulae are 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.

Also, I used 'array' as a placeholder. You would replace with [$AMOUNT].
