Yeliz, AverageIF is only avalible in Excel 2007 which I don't have so some of this is conjecture. You are using the formula according to its rules but MS limits all the IF functions to contiguous ranges. You could try an array formula to simulate this function If the cells to be skipped contain text they will be ignored as well as blanks=20 Robert Tillotson BAE-IT Groton Field Office 860-441-2207 -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yeliz Tozun Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 10:29 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Average IF function Dear All I have got some specific cells and what I want is to average the value if it is greater than 0 =3DAverageIF(G8:AD8,">0") however the function requires to select a range, I have to skip a column after select each single cell :( like =3DAverageIF(G8,J8,L8,N8,">0") but it doesn't work :( Could anyone help me please?
