Hello!
An example of my data set looks like this
colA B C D E F G
year (annual tree ring width....each column is an individual tree)
1780 0 0 0 1 0 0
1781 0 2 0 1 2 0
1782 3 4 0 5 3 4
1783 3 1 2 4 2 4
1784 3 3 3 3 3 3
1785 3 4 3 1 2 1
1786 5 2 1 3 2 1
etc..etc..etc
What I am trying to do is get the average of the first 5 non-blank data values in each column.
However, some columns have blank cells (0) before the actual data values start. How can I get an average of the first 5 non blank cells in each column?
(I want to know the average tree ring width over the first 5 years of growth for each tree)
Thanks for any help...have looked all over for this answer! I have at least 800 columns of data and def could use a short cut!
