    Average Calculation to exclude specific text in range

    I am using this =if(count(K4:BM4)>0,average(K4:BM4),"0") to calculate an average

    However I would like the range to exclude cells if they contain "OOO"

    Is this possible?

    Try this:

    =LET(s,SUMPRODUCT(K4:BM4<>"*OOO*"),IF(s>0,SUMPRODUCT((K4:BM4<>"*OOO*")*(K4:BM4))/s,0))

    If that doesn't work, attach a sample workbook.

    You posted in the wrong place for GoogleSheets and you made no mention of it in the opening post - I am moving the thread.

    Your workbook is view only - please allow editing access.

    Re: Average Calculation to exclude specific text in range

    You hadn't even adjusted the ranges in the formula, but it seems you could use this:

    =IF(COUNTIF(C2:BE2,"<>OOO")>0,AVERAGEIF(C2:BE2,"<>OOO",C2:BE2),0)
