calculating average with blank cells

[marvinks]

Hi
I have 4 columns with an average function on the bottom, however no
all the columns are used all the time, resulting in an error (#DIV/0!)
How do I calculate the average only if the cells are used. If I don'
used one of the columns I would like it to stay blank or return 0
thanks

enter following formula at the bottom of your columns instead of simpl
AVERAGE function.
suppose your data is in col A range(A1:A50), you should change thi
range for each column.

=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(A1:A50)),"",AVERAGE(A1:A50))

Hi marvinks

Try:

=IF(ISERR(AVERAGE(A1:A4)),0,AVERAGE(A1:A4))

Adjust ranges as necessary.
