    averages across multiple sheets with non numerical names

    hi

    i am working on a sheet that will enable accurate tracking of a teams daily output but am struggling with the averages side of things.

    i have attached the file below and left the formulas i already have in place in the hope someone can help me out.

    working the weekly average is easy enough but i cant figure out how to calculate a daily average if the value in the specified cells is greater then 0.

    the first formula i tried was

    [HTML]=SUM('Team Member 1:Team Member 10'!B6)/COUNTIF('Team Member 1:Team Member 10'!B6,">0")[HTML]

    but this just gives me a value error.

    the other issue i have is that the sheet names will change from team member 1 etc to the actual persons name so therfore team member 1:team member 10 formulas will not work.

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Ian

    Can't see any formulae or any sheets to average, but just use

    =AVERAGE('Team Member 1:Team Member 10'!B6)

    i have tried this formula but i need the formula to only count cells that have a value greater then 0 otherwise it will not give a true average.

    Re: averages across multiple sheets with non numerical names

    You could use this

    =SUM('Team Member 1:Team Member 10'!B6)/SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'Team Member "&ROW(INDIRECT("1:10"))&"'!B6"),">0"))

    but you would need to be consistent with the sheet names, yor 6 has a trailing space.
