Hello
I am one f those people that can normally solve an excel problem with a search. Unfortunately, I can't find what I am looking for this time. Please help
)
Here is my problem, I need to be able to create an average total that skips any missing information. For example, if I have four values I need the average for all four (e.g. 5+6+7+3/4), but if one is missing I need the average of three (e.g. 5+7+3/3).
I found the array formula: =AVERAGE(IF($A$1:$A$5<>0,$A$1:$A$5)) [Note: I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Enter to make it an array formula]. Which works perfectly for cells that are next to each other (e.g. A4:W4). The trouble I am having though is that the cells I need to pull the data from are not next to each other e.g. (K4, N4, S4, W4).
I did try to ammend the array formula with the following: =AVERAGE(IF($K$4,$N$4,$S$4,$W$4<>0,$K$4,$N$4,$S$4,$W$4)). But of course that came back with a "too many arguments" error.
How can I ammend this information to make this formula work.
Extra information if needed: The cells that have missing data are not blank or have a 0 value, they show a "#N/A" (which doesn't need fixing).
