More advanced formula uses including the “IF” statement. For example, “IF someone earned over $200 then charge them $20… otherwise charge them $40.” This is a very powerful tip.

    Great info however even if I click on the HQ button it doesn’t change it at all.. and it’s still not only small but very blury. is there something the teacher can do when making the video to make it larger and clearer. There is another guy doing excel tutoring and his is clear and at times he zooms in a bit to make it easier to see.
    Thanks for your help

    o Daniel. Thank you. One method to solving your problem is the use of an advanced filter. I’ve posted a video demonstrating this technique on my page. I hope it helps. Ray

    jpodthebro, I’m uming that you will place the formula in the column being checked for > zero, say C22 in your example, and that your SUM criteria is only for the current column and that you want the other row 3 numbers averaged regardless of the sum of those columns. The formula: =IF(SUM(C4:C14)>0,SUM($C$3:$F$3)/COUNT($C$3:$F$3),(SUM($C$3:$F$3)-C3)/(COUNT($C$3:$F$3)-1)) Regards.
    Freetutorials, nice job with the lessons. I’m new to Youtube, so I hope responding to your posters is ok. Ray

    Ray I just remembered and Yes I did want to check columns D, E, and F similarly. That is the reason I was having trouble. I need those columns checked and cells included/ excluded in the average based on the value checked for each. Is that possible?

  22. jpodthebro Says:

    Thanks for the info …
    Thanks for the info Ray. This could potentially really help me out but I’ll have to try it at work tomorrow. So this formula should take a cell out of the average if the same column has a total of 0?

  23. raycolondotcom Says:

    hello jpodthebro, I …
    o jpodthebro, I was doing some research to learn if there was a need for a tutorial on Excel formulas when I came across your question. The formula for your example is: =IF(SUM(C3:C14)>0,AVERAGE(C3:F3),AVERAGE(D3:F3)) The formula would be more complicated if you wanted to also check columns D,E, and F similarly, but it can be done. Enjoy.

    Yea but heres a hard question. How do you use multiple formula in the same IF statement. Like if you want an average of cells ‘C3 D3 E3 F3′ but only IF the value in lets say C3 to C14 have a total greater than zero while keeping in mind that you still want the average of cells ‘ D3 E3 F3′ just excluding C3 IF it has a total of 0 in C3-C14? Thats a hard one eh? I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while now but its really hard.
