Averaging without #DIV0!

FSt1, Hi, again,
Once again, your on the money and your solution worked slick.
Thank you and best regards,

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

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,

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,
Since I am using 2007, IFERROR does work great.
Thanks,
Malcolm
