Find the Average with Selected Cells

[rudevincy]

Hi

I have a worksheet that lists current data and YTD data.

A1 current data
A2 YTD data
A3 current data
A4 YTD data
A5 current data
A6 YTD data
A7 current data
A8 YTD data
A9 current data
A10 YTD data
A11 current data
A12 YTD data
A13 current data
A14 YTD data
A15 current data
A16 YTD data

I would like to find the average of these numbers but with only those numbers that are not 0. I have created this formula but excel is not allowing me to select more then 4 cells.

the formula that I have is in A25 to find the average of just the current data cells is =AVERAGE(IF(A1,A3,A5,A7,A9,A11,A13,A15<>0, A1,A3,A5,A7,A9,A11,A13,A15,"")) but it is telling me there are to many arguments in the function.....

how do I make this formula work.....

Please HELP!

To make things easier I am just going to create another range that pulls the data from A1,A3,A5,A7,A9,A11,A13,A15 but allign it so it is one after the other so then I will be able to just say D1:D8....

Thank you guys for all of your replies......
