Hi! I've been trying for two days to get this out, and now I'm starting to think that what I want is actually impossible. Maybe I'll find my luck here :)

I have the following table, where I included my criteria in red:

J4J4=AVERAGEIFS(C5:H5,C5:G5,">=5",H5,">=6")


I have tried to use COUNTIF and AND, but still can't get it work.

My criteria are:

1. Numbers from Grade 1 to Grade 5 should be higher than 4 for average (if not, leave the average cell empty)
2. Numbers in OP should be higher than 5 (if not, leave the average cell empty)
3. If OP has empty cells, don't calculate average at all.
3. In calculating average, look for text (if there is text, leave the average cell empty)
4. In calculating average, ignore empty cells (for instance, John's average should be: (6+6+6+7+6)/5, not divided by 6)

As you see, I have 2 criteria that are somewhat contradictory: ignore empty cell in a range, but take into account the empty cell in another range.

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Is this what you want?

You're welcome, thanks for the feedback!

Most of us are simply here to help others, a quick thank you as appreciation enough. That said, a quick click on the like button at the bottom right of a helpful post is always welcome :)

Also, how to return results only if there are 2 numbers? If there is only one or none, the returned result should be empty cell.

You can use COUNT to identify how many cells contain numbers, it will ignore empty cells, text, and formulas that show a blank.
Excel Formula:
=IF(COUNT(J82:K82)=2,AVERAGE(J82:K82),"")

Thank you for your heart and brain :) Now, I can go to the next phases of my project. I can't believe this place, the people on this this site really exist. Hope I can help other in the future (when I learn more about Excel) :) Thank you again.
