Trying to use this formula however I am getting an "error with formula". =IFERROR(AVERAGEIF(K25:O25,”>0”),”0”)
Maybe someone can lend me a hand with this?

Thanks,
PuJo
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Try this

=IFERROR(IF(AVERAGE(K25:O25)>0,AVERAGE(K25:O25),0),0)

IF (Logical Condition: If Average is greater than 0, Value if Condition is Met then calculate average of specified range, value if condition not met give me 0

IF ERROR will automatically result in 0 if there is some error elsewhere

You'll need to use double quotes instead of the left and right double quotation marks...

=IFERROR(AVERAGEIF(K25:O25,">0"),"0")

Hey Seba, thanks for the reply however it doesn't seem to be ignoring the zero values in the data I am trying to average.

Thanks Dom! That did the trick!

You're very welcome. By the way, while IFERROR returns 0 when AVERAGEIF returns an error, the 0 is formatted as text instead of a numerical value. To return a numerical value, simply remove the double quotes...

=IFERROR(AVERAGEIF(K25:O25,">0"),0)

Having the same problem again, this time I am averaging a named range. =AVERAGEIF(SS_FOURTH_Q,">0")
Tried =IFERROR(AVERAGEIF(SS_FOURTH_Q,">0"),0) as well as =IFERROR(AVERAGEIF(SS_FOURTH_Q,">0"),"0")
still getting the error.....

For some reason, my Mac keeps using the wrong quotes...

Thanks!

I don't have a Mac, but on my keyboard the double quotes is located together with the apostrophe key. So I would press the key combination Shift + ' . If this is the only key available for double quotes, the problem might be with the system settings. In this case, check System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Text, something like that.
