    convert array formula output to string

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to turn the output of an array formula to a string so that i can use it inside an INDIRECT formula. My array formula is the following:

    Column Q has letters in it (C through N) and R is 1 or 0 for each letter. In the end, I want the string to look something like this:

    "C2,D2,E2,F2..." (assuming the formula was entered in cell O2)

    Using this string, I would then be able to write an AVERAGE around it:

    Re: convert array folmula output to string

    I'm not sure that would be the best way to approach this. Perhaps try this "array formula"

    =AVERAGE(IF(TRANSPOSE(R3:R14),C2:N2))

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    Note that doesn't reference Q3:Q14 so I presume those letters always remain the same......
