    Average only columns with data

    Hi All:

    I have twelve columns of data nine of which are filled. I'm trying to come up with a formula that averages a column only if it has data in it, I have attached a sample file. As I add data the average should change without changing the formula..

    Once again, thanks for everyone's help in advance...

    Just the regular old AVERAGE function. It ignores blanks.

    Or you can get fancy and use =IF(COUNT(F10:Q10), AVERAGE(F10:Q10), "")
