Hi everyone,

I'm working on a spreadsheet to calculate average scores from a given range,where they're 0-100. What I have is working fine, however for the purpose ofranking the averages I need to treat scores that are < 75 as “50” whencalculating the averages.


Eg. Scores are 100, 89, 85, 76, 74, 66 currently
Code:
=AVERAGE(that range)
is 81.667

I need the average to calculate based on 100, 89, 85, 76,50, 50 returning 75

I want to retain the original scores for graphing, justneed the 50 for calculations.

Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Welcome to Mr Excel forum

Assuming data in A2:A7, maybe this array formula
=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A7>=75,A2:A7,50))
confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter

Hope this helps

Success! Can't believe it was so simple haha.
Code:
{=AVERAGE(IF(C11:AK11>=75,C11:AK11,50))}
works where C11:AK11 is my data.
Now the only issue is that blanks (not filled yet) add as 50.
Can an extra IF be added to ignore blanks? Something like this? Perhaps a cleaner method?
Code:
{=AVERAGE(IF(AND(C11:AK11>=75,C11:AK11>0),C11:AK11,50))}

this works
Code:
=AVERAGE(IF(C11:AK11>=75,C11:AK11,IF(C11:AK11>0,50)))
thanks for your help!
