Hi all -

I have just discovered array formulas which appear to answer an averaging issue I have. One question though can I add to an array average formula an initial test to check if all the fields are zero.

For example, the array formula I wrote that works is:

{=average(if(h24:j24=0,h24:j24))}

I would like to preceed this average formula with some kind of test like:

=if(h24:j24=0,0 then the arravy average formula.

I have tried various formula constructions but none of them work and I don't want to go to macros.

Any help would be appreciated.

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
The array average formula works if there is at least one number contained in the range, but it returns a #DIV! if all the cells are zeros. I want to test for this condition before the array activates.
