How do I average a range of cells that are blank until data is entered later
with out the destination cell returning a #div/o! error
 
hi
=IF(A2=0,"",AVERAGE(A2:A10))
or
=IF(A2=0,0,AVERAGE(A2:A10))

adjust range to suit.

Try something like this...

The formula won't calculate an average until at least 1 number is entered in
the range.


=IF(COUNT(A1:A10),AVERAGE(A1:A10),"")

good call. i didn't think that out far enough. i assumed that the first cell
in the range would be the first to have data.
thanks for a better insight.
