    average formula in excel with even columns only and columns with no value

    i am trying to complete a spreadsheet which most of it is done but one column i have
    i have to average everyother square in each column which i did but when i total those columns at the end i get the dreaded #div/01
    which means any value that i dont have in a particular column it will not add is there anyway to fix this. i am attaching a sample of the spreadsheet
    so you can see exactly what i am trying to do .

    thankyou in advance for your time.

    Hi,

    One way would be to wrap your formulae in an =IFERROR(your_formula,"")

    In the attached file I changed...well... pretty much all of your formulas to take advantage of Excel 2010's capabilities.
    Particularly: SUMIF, AVERAGEIF, and IFERROR



    Is that something you can work with?

    Re: average formula in excel with even columns only and columns with no value

    • Edit the formula in S3 on the PICKING sheet. You'll see that, now that you inserted a row, the AVERAGEIF function is referencing Row_1 instead of Row_2. Correct that and the formulas will work.
    • The formulas in the summary section also need adjusting. They reference rows 2 through 101 instead of rows 3 through 102.

    Once you understand those formulas, you'll be able to apply them to the RECEIVING sheet.
    Let us know if you need a little more help.
