#DIV/0! error using Avgerage
I have a formula that takes a array that includes number grades, drops the
lowest grade and averages them. If there is no data in cell yet i get a #DIV/0! error is there a way to copy this formula to following cells without data in them yet and not get this error. The formula Im using is: =AVERAGE(IF(C13:E13MIN(C13:E13),C13:E13))

#DIV/0! error using Avgerage
One way:
=IF(COUNT(C13:E13)3,"",AVERAGE(LARGE(C13:E13,{1,2 }))) Note, with the formula you're using now, someone who got two or more of the same low grades would have them BOTH/ALL dropped.

#DIV/0! error using Avgerage
Hi Naomi
the formula is an array formula, so needs to be entered or amended using Control+Shift+Enter (CSE) When you use CSE, Excel encloses the formula within curly braces { }. Do not type them yourself {=AVERAGE(IF(C13:E13MIN(C13:E13),C13:E13))} -- Regards Roger Govier "Naomi" wrote in message ...

You could trap with IF(ISERROR, indicatively like this, array-entered:

#DIV/0! error using Avgerage
Note, with the formula you're using now, someone who got two or more of
the same low grades would have them BOTH/ALL dropped. Very good point, John. -- Regards Roger Govier "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...

What if there is more than 1 instance of the minimum grade? Should each
minimum grade be excluded? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Naomi" wrote in message ... I have a formula that takes a array that includes number grades, drops the lowest grade and averages them.

No even if there is a duplicate minimum number grade only one needs to be

#DIV/0! error using Avgerage
Try this:
=SUM(C13:E13,-MIN(C13:E13))/MAX(COUNT(C13:E13)-1,1) If all the cells are empty it will return 0. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Naomi" wrote in message ...

#DIV/0! error using Avgerage
I have one other question. The person im making this for has added columns
that might have zeros in them that will need to be included in this formula as well. How would i modify this formula to not only include the lowest number and zeros as well Thanks in advance for the help "JE McGimpsey" wrote: One way: =IF(COUNT(C13:E13)3,"",AVERAGE(LARGE(C13:E13,{1,2 }))) Note, with the formula you're using now, someone who got two or more of the same low grades would have them BOTH/ALL dropped.
