Hello,

One of my coworkers created a VBA to average some data years ago. He has since retired and I need help correcting an error. I'm new to VBA.

I have a data point for every hour of the month. The VBA code is intended to calculate a 24 hour average. I've ran into an error due to an entire day of missing hour data, so no data to average for that day. The VBA gives me Run-time error "6": Overflow.

Can anyone provide me some direction getting the VBA code to move on to the next day if there is no data to calculate for the 24 hour average?

VBA Code:
' calculate 24 hour averages
For iday = 1 To itotdays
  istrt = (iday - 1) * 24 + 2
  istop = istrt + 23
  asum = 0
  n = 0
  For i = istrt To istop
    arange$ = "B" & i
    Set arang = Range(arange$)
    icnt = Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(arang)
    If icnt = 1 Then
      asum = asum + Cells(i, 2)
      n = n + 1
      asumtot = asumtot + Cells(i, 2)
      ntot = ntot + 1
    End If
    
  Next i
  aver = asum / n
  If n > 17 Then
    Cells(istop, 4) = aver
  End If
Next iday

When I click on debug, it highlights this line.
VBA Code:
aver = asum / n

Hard to see/test without having your data, by maybe try this?
Rich (BB code):
For iday = 1 To itotdays
  istrt = (iday - 1) * 24 + 2
  istop = istrt + 23
  asum = 0
  n = 0
  For i = istrt To istop
    arange$ = "B" & i
    Set arang = Range(arange$)
    icnt = Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(arang)
    If icnt = 1 Then
      asum = asum + Cells(i, 2)
      n = n + 1
      asumtot = asumtot + Cells(i, 2)
      ntot = ntot + 1
    End If  
  Next i

  If n > 0 Then
    aver = asum / n
    If n > 17 Then
        Cells(istop, 4) = aver
    End If
  End If

Next iday

Solution
Thanks for your help. I just added the extra If...Then and that corrected my problem.

Sorry about not adding data to the post. I'll try to remember to do that on the next one.
