Calculating Averages but excluding zero's

Hi,

i want to calculate the average of a column but exclude anyzeros in that column.
For example: If column A1 contained 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 0 then the average would be 2. (8/4) NOT (8/6)

Thanks.

Try this:

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A6>0,A1:A6))

Enter this as an array formula. Use CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER instead of just Enter.

HTH,
Elkar

One way is with this *array* formula:

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A6<>0,A1:A6))

Array formulas must be entered with CSE, <Ctrl> <Shift > <Enter>, instead of
the regular <Enter>, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly
brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.
