@alantse2010 Might this help?
It is an Array formula.

Hi Alantse2010,

Your example seems to work OK (although I'm using an earlier Excel version). If all the entries for a Contractor are NA then yes, you will get a #DIV/0 error but you can trap that with an IFERROR.

@Snakehips thank you for your reply, I tried your formula, it is successful to calculate the average and pass the text"NA" but the directional should be calculated from F2:F11 and refer to the contractor Name
@Toadstool Thank you for your reply, I tried your formula, I think your formula is right but I don't know why it is still showing "#DIV/0!", so I copy the data to another sheet and clear NA and calculate again, it works, thank you
