When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
COUNTA returns a number not null. Maybe you need:

=IF(COUNTA(H25:K25)=0,"n/a",COUNTIF(H25:K25,"a")/COUNTA(H25:K25))

Counta returns a number (the count of non empty cells).
So counta will never = ""..

Try

=IF(COUNTA(H25:K25)=0,"n/a",COUNTIF(H25:K25,"a")/COUNTA(H25:K25))

Hi Guys

thanks for the help, of course easy when you know how put me on the right track here is what i used

Code:
=IF(COUNTA(H25:K25)=0,"",COUNTIF(H25:K25,"a")/COUNTA(H25:K25))

I added the 0 as you suggested then simply removed the n/a and replaced with "" and that gave me the blank i was looking for.

Thanks again, you guys are the best.

Alistair
