Seem to recall helping you with a time/expenses spreadsheet a while back Harry? By a while back, I mean around 6 years!  |
Have a vague recollection of that. My memory is not what it used to be, but then it never was
Yes I have spent endless, not entirely wasted, hours on this spreadsheet. I used to love playing about with numbers in my latter years at school, when all we had was pen, paper and log tables. It was a revelation when I went to college and I found there were easier ways, like slide-rules. As soon as calculators came out, I bought a then very expensive used LED display HP, driving 50 miles to collect it. That took me into home built micro-processor systems and a bit of programming. I sort of lost interest when everyone had a PC.
I show Jane the spreadsheet, as we both share the bills and her eyes just start rolling
In an Excel spreadsheet, what is the correct formulae to use for a column of figures to get an average value, but ignoring/ not counting the rows into which no numbers have yet been entered please?
Column is Y, the rows I am interested in are 5 to 60, there is only data so far entered into rows 5 to 18, so I want it to provide an average just those 13 rows, incrementing as more data is added in the rest?
=AVERAGE(Y5:Y60) provides an average value for all of the rows. I want to not count the ones with no data in them.
Sorted! - =AVERAGEIF(Y5:Y60,">0")
Sorry, I have just noticed I have somehow managed to post this in the wrong forum, perhaps a mod could move it to the Technology forum please?
