Hello Brains Trust!
I have a spreadsheet where i'm calculating, among other things, percentages down a column. I need to filter the various other columns against differing criteria with simple drop down filters.
Most cells in this percentage column will have a number, but some are zero.
I have managed to average all cells in the column and exclude the zeros using the formula =AVERAGEIFS(N5:N250,N5:N250,"<>0")
However, i would also like to be able to calculate what the average percentage of this column is when the other columns are filtered, whilst excluding any zero values.
(I can give a filtered average using the SUBTOTAL(1) function, but this still includes the zero values)
I cannot seem to find a way to do this?
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Simone

In this example rows 3 and 6 are filtered.
The formula in column B is in B2:12.

Another option
Excel Formula:
=AVERAGE(FILTER(N2:N250,(N2:N250<>0)*(MAP(N2:N250,LAMBDA(m,SUBTOTAL(103,m))))))
