    AVERAGEIF function

    I have a column that includes some cells that contain numbers and some cells that contain text. I want to find the average of the numbers in the column without getting an error message since it is trying to average the cells containing text. I thought it would be something like =AVERAGEIF(range,range="number",range) but that's not working. Thanks!

    I don't have 2007, so not sure if you can apply the Isnumber() function... but you can test it...

    In all versions of Excel, this would work...

    =AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(range),range))

    which is an array formula and must be confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
