Averaging without #DIV0!
I’m using a worksheet that has a cell (C27) that totals rooms and a cell
(J28) that totals rates and a cell (J29) that is the average daily rate total, rate/total rooms. I’m using the formula =AVERAGE(J28/C27). The only problem is until I actually input a number into C27 I get the #DIV/0! displayed in my ADR cell (J29). I don’t always need this data so is there a way I can input the formula and not have the #DIV/0! in cell J29? Thanks, Malcolm |

Thanks, Malcolm- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It think when you divide you already creat the average. You don't need the AVERAGE function. =IF(C27=0,0,J28/C27) =IF(iserror(J28/C27),0,J28/C27) in 2007; =IFERROR(J28.C27,0) My preference runs to the if error formulas Sig |

hi
vary your formula a tad =IF(c27=0,0,average(j28/c27)) thought i haven't seen the average formula used quite that way. but if c27 is zero then the above formual will put a zero in the cell instead of #DIV/0 regards FSt1 "Malcolm" wrote: I’m using a worksheet that has a cell (C27) that totals rooms and a cell (J28) that totals rates and a cell (J29) that is the average daily rate total, rate/total rooms.

Or, more simply:

Think you don't need to use "average", and this simple IF trap which checks
the denominator cell should suffice: =IF(C27="","",J29/C27) -- Max Singapore --- "Malcolm" wrote: I’m using a worksheet that has a cell (C27) that totals rooms and a cell (J28) that totals rates and a cell (J29) that is the average daily rate total, rate/total rooms.
