Re: Can you AVERAGE IF and not null?

[JE McGimpsey]

One way (array-entered: CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER or CMD-RETURN):

=AVERAGE(IF((A3:A45="Photo")*(H3:H45<>""),H3:H45))

Hi,

I have a question for Excel 2003

=AVERAGE(IF(AND($A2=Data!$B:$B,B$1=Data!$A:$A),Data!$C:$C,""))

Im trying to get the AVERAGE of this and its giving me a #VALUE! error.. $A2
is the name that is suppose to be equal in the Data! worksheet and B$1 is the
date that is suppose to be equal in the Data! worksheet. Im trying to use AND
in IF for me to have two logical test..

Can you help me with this?

Thank you so much!

[Dave Peterson]

You can't use the entire column for array formulas in xl2003 and below.

(Remember to use ctrl-shift-enter, too)

You can't use entire columns as range references in array formulas in Excel
2003. Use a smaller specific range.

Try it like this (array entered**)

=AVERAGE(IF((Data!A1:A10=B1)*(Data!B1:B10=A2),Data!C1:C10))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

EXCELENT! It worked!!! and how can I hide the #DIV/0! if there are still no

Thank you :)

Try it like this:

Array entered.

Hi,

I have a Question.. is VLOOKUP plus IF possible? This is my fomula..

=VLOOKUP(IF((Data!A1:A1000=A1)*(Data!B1:B1000=D1),....

is my logical tests or conditions correct? and how will i put the VLOOKUP
codes?

Can you help me with this..

THank you so much

[klic33]

My situation is similar but I haven't been able to customize this to work
like I thought I should be able to.
I have one cell in multiple tabs I that want to include in the average, as
long as they <>0. If anyone of them <>0, then I do not want that particular
cell to be factored into the result because it skews the average (because
it's a month that hasn't occured yet so the data is 0). Here's my
(nonworking) formula if anyone can help:

=average(if(jundata!b2,juldata!b2,augdata!b2,sepdata!b2,octdata!b2,novdata!b2,decdatab2<>""),jundata!b2,juldata!b2,augdata!b2,sepdata!b2,octdata!b2,novdata!b2,decdata!b2)

Hi T. Valko,

How are you?

Got a Question again... im trying to get a data from the database using
VLOOKUP and why is that even though there is no value in the database it
still displays the 0 value?

And can you teach mo how to get a value from the database even though theres
no value in it?

ex.

A1 = "null value or no value"

how will display a value that is equivalent to a text or number even though
theres no value in the database?

Thank you.

[T. Valko]

You'll have to post the formula.

[klic33]

no, nothing less than zero

[T. Valko]

Try this:

Create these named formulas...

Insert>Name>Define
Name: SumSheets
Refers to:

=SUMIF(INDIRECT(TEXT(30*{6,7,8,9,10,11,12},"mmm\data")&"!B2"),">0")

Name: CountSheets
Refers to:

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(TEXT(30*{6,7,8,9,10,11,12},"mmm\data")&"!B2"),">0")

Then, you average formula is:

=SUMPRODUCT(SumSheets)/SUMPRODUCT(CountSheets)

Explanation:

Excel doesn't support *conditional* averaging across multiple sheets so we
need to trick it into doing so. We can't use the AVERAGE function in this
case. Since an average is the sum divided by the count that's what we're
doing with the above formula(s).

If you want to take the "easy" way out on this, on each sheet in the same
cell enter a formula like this:

=IF(B2>0,B2,"")

Let's assume those formulas are in cell B3. Then, you can use the AVAERAGE
function like this:

=AVERAGE(jundata:decdata!B3)

hi Again,

Got a question again, is there any formula that can automatically erase or
remove an entire row if a specific cell doesnt have any value or an error
value to it???

ex.

I have this vlookup value in column E
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1:A5,Sheet1!B1:E100,3,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A1:A5,Sheet1!B1:E100,3,FALSE)))

Is there anyway that i can delete or remove the entire row 4 if theres no
returned value or an error value???

A B C D E
1 x g e e sharon
2 x as vf v sharon
3 y g h j david
4 f b a r
5 p r e f dexter

Thank you..

[T. Valko]

No, a formula can't do that. If you want it to be "semi-automatic" you'd
need a macro.

You can do it with a few clicks of a mouse...

Remove the error trap from your formula and let the errors generate.
Select column E
Goto the menu Edit>Go To>Special
Select: Formulas and uncheck everything *except* Errors
OK

That will select all the cells in col E that contain errors

Goto the menu Edit>Delete
Select: Entire Row
OK

A1 = 80% and can we have a comment on that, that automatically that says
"Passed"

Thanks.

[T. Valko]

Hmmm....

I'm not sure. You might be able to do that with an event macro but I don't
know how to do it.

Try posting this question in the programming forum. If A1 contains a formula
make sure you note that in your question.

Hi Again,

Got a question again.. How can i count text or words?

Ex.

in column A, i got texts that is equal to "Very Satisfied" and "Satisfied"
and others.

A
Very Satisfied
Satisfied
Not Satisfied
Very Satisfied
Very Satisfied
Satisfied

How can i count the cells that contains "Very Satisfied"? and is there any
way for me to get the Average of "Very Satisfied" against the total number of
data that is in column A

thank you. :)

[T. Valko]

For the count:

Data in the range A2:A7...

C2 = satisified

=COUNTIF(A2:A7,C2)

For the percentage:

Assuming the count formula is in D2...

=D2/COUNTA(A2:A7)

Format as Percentage

Thank you so much for this.. A follow up question, im trying to get the

ex.

This is the Data Worksheet

A B
mike Very Satisfied
Kris Very Satisfied
Kris Satisfied
Mike Satisfied
Mike Very Satisfied
Mike Not Satisfied
Tamy Satisfied
Tamy Satisfied

and this is my formula :

This is a cell from a different Worksheet

D3 = Very Satisfied

=COUNT(IF((Data!A2:A100=B2)*(Data!B2:B100=C3),Data!B2:B100))

Thank you so much!

[T. Valko]

>=COUNT(IF((Data!A2:A100=B2)*(Data!B2:B100=C3),Data!B2:B100))

Ok, I'm assuming you want the count of "very satisfied" for a particular
person.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!A2:A100=B2),--(Data!B2:B100=C3))

If you're using Excel 2007:

=COUNTIFS(Data!A2:A100,B2,Data!B2:B100,C3)

I'm not sure about your average. *Exactly* what do you want to average?

for that i want to get the average of number of very satisfied rating versus
the non very satisfied rating of a single person..

ex.

for mike, he has 4 surveys and 2 out of 4 are very satisfied, so clearly its
50% right... thats what i mean for the average, i dont know how to formulate
that.

Thank you.

[Hijosdelongi]

I got the average already, thanks to you... but is there any way that i can
put a date range on the formula? something like i can only count the number
of very satisfied ratings this september?

can this be possible?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!A2:A100=B2),--(Data!B2:B100=C3),--(A1:A31=[Date.xls]Date!A1:A31))

is this possible?

Thank you.

[T. Valko]

To include a date range..

Data!A2:A100 = names
Data!B2:B100 = response
Data!C2:C100 = dates

These are the criteria:

B2 = some name = Mike
C2 = some response = very satisfied
D2 = start date = 9/1/2009
E2 = end date = 9/30/2009

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!A2:A100=B2),--(Data!B2:B100=C2),--(Data!C2:C100>=D2),--(Data!C2:C100<=E2))

I have This

John VS 100
Mike VD -100
Mike VS 100
John VS 100
John VD -100
John S 0

I would like to compute the score of John, for him only

This is the Formula : ( VS + ( VD )) / Total number of Surveys

So its like this

(200 + ( -100 )) / 4

Thanks,

[T. Valko]

Try this...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A7="John"),--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2:B7,{"VS","VD"},0))),C2:C7)/COUNTIF(A2:A7,"John")

Better to use cells to hold the criteria.

E2 = John
F2 = VS
G2 = VD

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A7=E2),--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2:B7,F2:G2,0))),C2:C7)/COUNTIF(A2:A7,E2)

Hi,

Why is that its giving me a 0 value?

The survey its actually like this :

VS = 100
S = 0
NS = 0
VD = -100
D = -100

So if John has

John VS
John VD
John D
John S
John NS
Mike D
Mike VS
Mike VS

the formula again is

(VS + ( D + VD ))/Total number of surveys

So its like this

(100 + ( -200 )) / 5

So the answer for this should be -20

Thanks again for your help :)

So, you have a separate table with the code values?

Ok, rearange your code table so that it's sorted in ascending order like
this:

D...-100
NS...0
S...0
VD...-100
VS...100

Assume that table is in the range A1:B5

Your list of names and codes is in the range D1:E8.

Array entered** :

=AVERAGE(IF(D1:D8="John",LOOKUP(E1:E8,A1:B5)))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.
