Averaging Blank Cells

[John Calder]

Hi

In cell R88 I have the following formula

=AVERAGE(R76:R87)

It works fine as soon as I enter data in the range but when there is no data
in the range it returns a #DIV/0! error.

This looks unsightly on the sheet and was wondering if there was a way that
I could surpress this error when there is no data entered.

Thanks

John

One way:
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(R76:R87)),"",AVERAGE(R76:R87))

try

=AVERAGE(IF(R76:R87,R76:R87,))

CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER this formula as it is in array formula

Check for some numbers first:

=if(count(r76:r87)=0,"no numbers",average(r76:r87))
