    SUMIF for percentage averages?

    Hi,

    I am using SUMIF for some tables that summarize my main data.
    This works great for dollar values, but for percentages I need to find the average not the total.

    I figure I can get the total, and then count how many there were, and that will give me the average.
    Can I use SUMIF to just count how many results are bigger than 0?

    My totals formula is:
    =SUMIF(FullData!$E:$E,$E95,FullData!$CF:$CF)


    I was thinking something like:
    =SUMIF(FullData!$E:$E,$E95, if(FullData!$CF:$CF>0,1,0) )

    It would help to see a sample workbook, but you can use this to count greater than 0.

    =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10,">0")

    or with Sumif

    =SUMIF($A$1:$A$10,">0")

    Sorry, OK here is an example.

    Basically I need to average values from the column, if TWO criteria are met.

    How about...

    =AVERAGE(IF(B5:B22="AREA1",IF(C5:C22>0,C5:C22)))

    Enter with Ctrl + Shift + Enter

    Sorry I messed that formula up, please use the replaced formula

    Will do.

    Just one other question, if it doesn't find anything that meets the criteria it returns DIV/0
    How can I make it return 0 or "" instead?

    Not sure if this is the most efficient formula, but...

    =IF(COUNTIF(B5:B22,"AREA1")=0,"",AVERAGE(IF(B5:B22="AREA1",IF(C5:C22>0,C5:C22))))
