I want to calculate the average over a range (B1:B12 or C1:C12 in the figure), excluding:
Cells not being numeric, including Empty strings, Blank cells with no contents, #NA, text, etc. (B1+B8:B12 or C1+C8:C12 here).
Cells for which corresponding cells in a range (A1:A12 here) have values outside an interval ([7,35] here). This would further exclude B2:B3 or C2:C3.
At this point, cells in column A may contain numbers or have no contents.
I think it is not possible to use any built-in AVERAGE-like function. Then, I tried calculating the sum, the count, and divide. I can calculate the count (F2 and F7), but not the sum (F3), when I have #N/A in the range, e.g.
How can I do this?
Notes:
Column G shows the formulas in column F.
I cannot filter and use SUBTOTAL.
B8:C8 contain Blank cells with no contents, B9:C9 contain Empty strings.
I am looking for (non-user defined) formulas, i.e., non-VBA.

Providing you are using Excel 2010 and above the AGGREGATE
function
can be optioned to ignore all errors.
=AGGREGATE(1, 6, A1:A5)
You can accomplish this by using array formulas based upon nested IFs to provide at least part of the criteria. When an IF resolves to FALSE it no longer process the TRUE portion of the statement.
The array formulas in F2:F3 are,
=SUM(IF(NOT(ISNA(B2:B13)), (A2:A13>=7)*(A2:A13<=35)*(B2:B13<>"")))
=SUM(IF(NOT(ISNA(B2:B13)), IF(B2:B13<>"", (A2:A13>=7)*(A2:A13<=35)*B2:B13)))
The array formulas in F7:F8 are,
=SUM(IF(NOT(ISNA(C2:C13)), (A2:A13>=7)*(A2:A13<=35)*(C2:C13<>"")))
=SUM(IF(NOT(ISNA(C2:C13)), IF(C2:C13<>"", (A2:A13>=7)*(A2:A13<=35)*C2:C13)))
Array formulas need to be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. Once entered correctly, they can be filled down like any other formula if necessary.
Array formulas increase calculation load logarithmically as the range(s) they refer to expand. Try to keep excess blank rows to a minimum and avoid full column references.
You can get the average of your "NA" column values in one fairly simple formula like this:
=AVERAGE(IF(
(
($A$2:$A$13>=$F$2)*
($A$2:$A$13<=$F$3)*
ISNUMBER(B2:B13)
)>0,
B2:B13))
entered as an array formula using CtrlShiftEnter↵.
I find this to be a very clear way of writing it, because all your conditions are lined up next to each other. They're "and'ed" using the mathematical operator *; this of course converts TRUE and FALSE values to 1's and 0's, respectively, so when the and'ing is done, I convert them back to TRUE/FALSE using >0. Note that instead of hard-coding your thresholds 7 and 35 (hard-coding literals is usually considered bad practice), I put them in cells.
Same logic for your sum and your count; just replace AVERAGE with SUM and COUNT, respectively:
=SUM(IF((($A$2:$A$13>=$F$2)*($A$2:$A$13<=$F$3)*ISNUMBER(B2:B13))>0,B2:B13))
=COUNT(IF((($A$2:$A$13>=$F$2)*($A$2:$A$13<=$F$3)*ISNUMBER(B2:B13))>0,B2:B13))
though a more succinct formula can also be used for the count:
=SUM(($A$2:$A$13>=$F$2)*($A$2:$A$13<=$F$3)*ISNUMBER(B2:B13))
The same formulas can be used to average/sum/count your "blank" column. Here I just drag-copied them one column to the right (column G), which means that all instances of B2:B13 became C2:C13.

I've got a massive parts spreadsheet that I'm trying to simplify. Various parts could be included in number of locations, which I would like to add up to a single list. The attached file is just an example using reindeer.
This is doable with using a bunch of SUMIF statements added together, but not practical due to the range of columns I need to include. There's gotta be a better way!?
=SUMPRODUCT(--($D$4:$J$11=$A4),$E$4:$K$11))
SUMPRODUCT can do that. Make sure the second range shifts one column, but has equal count of columns (and rows).
($D$4:$J$11=$A4) results in an array of TRUE's or FALSE's for the value in range $D$4:$J$11 being equal to the value in $A4 (no $ prior to it's row number will increase the row # referenced when dragged down).
Adding -- in front of the array converts the TRUE's and FALSE's to 1's and 0's respectively.
Multiplying that with the range to the right of it will result in 1* the value in $E$4:$K$11 for all TRUE's, which results in it's value, or 0* the value in $E$4:$K$11 for all FALSE's, which results in 0.
Summing the array of values results in the sum of all values where the condition is met in the column left from it.
SUMPRODUCT combines the multiplication of the array and summing the array results to 1 total sum.
You can use simply the SUM:
=SUM((D$4:$D$11=A4)*$E$4:$E$11,($F$4:$F$11=A4)*$G$4:$G$11, etc.)
where in etc you can put any range you want. If you don't use 2021/365 version, you must confirm the formula with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

I have two worksheets, for example column A in sheet 1 and columns B-D in sheet 2.
What I want to do is to take one value in Column A, and scan both columns B and C and it is between those two values, then display the corresponding value from column D in a new worksheet.
There could be multiple matches for each of the cell in column A and if there is no match, to skip it and not have anything displayed. Is there a way to code this and somehow create a loop to do all of column A? I tried using this formula, but I think it only matches for each row and not how I want it to.
=IF(AND([PQ.xlsx]Sheet1!$A2>=[PQ.xlsx]Sheet2!$B2,[PQ.xlsx]Sheet1!$A2<[PQ.xlsx]Sheet2!$C2),[PQ.xlsx]Sheet2!$D$2,"")
How do I do this?
Thank you.
I'm not positive if I understood exactly what you intended. In this sheet, I have taken each value in A:A and checked to see if it was between any pair of values in B:C, and then returned each value from D:D where that is true. I did keep this all on a single tab for ease of demonstration, but you can easily change the references to match your own layout. I tested in Excel and then transferred to this Google Sheet, but the functions should work the same.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-RR1UZC8-AVnRoj1h8JLbnXewmzyDQKuKU49Ef-1F1Y/edit#gid=0
=IFERROR(TRANSPOSE(FILTER($D$2:$D$15, ($A2>=$B$2:$B$15)*($A2<=$C$2:$C$15))), "")
So what I have done is FILTEREDed column D on the two conditions that Ax is >= B:B and <= C:C, then TRANSPOSED the result so that it lays out horizontally instead of vertically, and finally wrapped it in an error trap to avoid #CALC where there are no results returned.
I added some random data to test with. Let me know if this is what you were looking at, or if I misunderstood your intent.
SUPPORT FOR EXCEL VERSIONS WITHOUT DYNAMIC ARRAY FUNCTIONS
You can duplicate this effect with array functions in pre-dynamic array versions of Excel. This is an array function, so it has be finished with SHFT+ENTER. Put it in F2, SHFT+ENTER, and then drag it to fill F2:O15:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$2:$D$15, SMALL(IF(($A2>=$B$2:$B$15)*($A2<=$C$2:$C$15), ROW($A$2:$A$15)-MIN(ROW($A$2:$A$15))+1), COLUMNS($F$2:F2))),"")
reformatted for easier explanation:
=IFERROR(
INDEX(
$D$2:$D$15,
SMALL(
IF(
($A2>=$B$2:$B$15)*($A2<=$C$2:$C$15),
ROW($A$2:$A$15) - MIN(ROW($A$2:$A$15))+1
),
COLUMNS($F$2:F2)
)
),
"")
From the inside out: ROW($A$2:$A$15) creates an array from 2 to 15, and MIN(ROW($A$2:$A$15))+1 scales it so that no matter which row the range starts in it will return the numbers starting from 1, so ROW($A$2:$A$15) - MIN(ROW($A$2:$A$15))+1 returns an array from 1 to 14.
We use this as the second argument in the IF clause, what to return if TRUE. For the first argument, the logical conditions, we take the same two conditions from the original formula: ($A2>=$B$2:$B$15)*($A2<=$C$2:$C$15). As before, this returns an array of true/false values. So the output of the entire IF clause is an array that consists of the row numbers where the conditions are true or FALSE where the conditions aren't met.
Take that array and pass it to SMALL. SMALL takes an array and returns the kth smallest value from the array. You'll use COLUMNS($F$2:F2) to determine k. COLUMNS returns the number of columns in the range, and since the first cell in the range reference is fixed and the second cell is dynamic, the range will expand when you drag the formula. What this will do is give you the 1st, 2nd, ... kth row numbers that contain matches, since FALSE values aren't returned by SMALL (as a matter of fact they generate an error, which is why the whole formula is wrapped in IFERROR).
Finally, we pass the range with the numbers we want to return (D2:D15 in this case) to INDEX along with the row number we got from SMALL, and INDEX will return the value from that row.
So FILTER is a lot simpler to look at, but you can get it done in an older version. This will also work in Google Sheets, and I added a second tab there with this formula, but array formulas work a little different there. Instead of using SHFT+ENTER to indicate an array formula, Sheets just wraps the formula in ARRAY_FORMULA(). Other than that, the two formulas are the same.
Since FALSE values aren't considered, it will skip those.
I want to get the count of cells used in an excel function.
For example say I have a sum function ='CV'!D11+Farmer!D11+'County'!D11+Rt!D11+WT!D11+'Country'!D11
I need a function that will tell me how many cells were used to get the total sum. In this case it is 6. The tricky part is if one of the cells used is blank I do not want it counted. For instance say cell D11 on the Farmer sheet is blank I do not want it counted in the total. So the total should be 5.
Use COUNT:
=COUNT('CV'!D11,Farmer!D11,'County'!D11,Rt!D11,WT!D11,'Country'!D11)
It will only count the cell if it has a number
You should really try to collate all your data in to a single sheet before running calculations. For the sake of example, I'll assume you have it in the range A1:A5, then you can add handling of the various cases using array formulas:
Get the count of non-empty cells (the ISBLANK function is untrustworthy in my experience): {SUM(IF(LEN(A1:A5)>0,1,0))}
Get the sum of those cells: SUM(A1:A5)
(must use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter the formula as an array formula, you will know it worked if the formula shows like {IF(...)} with the curly brackets)
Because blank/missing values are treated implicitly as 0 in the SUM function, this case is simple. If you have other validations then you'd have to write an array formula for the summation as well. For example, only including numbers between a min and max threshold (e.g. if you want to exclude outliers):
{SUM(IF(AND(A1:A5 >= yourMinValue, A1:A5 < yourMaxValue), A1:A5, 0)}.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to literately count the number of cells used in a formula which in your example is summing 6 values from 6 different locations.
I used the following example to demonstrate my solution:
The sum of =A1+B1+C1+D1+E1+F1 is 10 where cell C1 has a 0 value in it but cell E1 is blank.
Using the following array formula I was able to count the number of cells that have a value other than 0:
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(ABS(N(INDIRECT(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT(FORMULATEXT(A3),LEN(FORMULATEXT(A3))-1),"+",REPT(" ",100)),100*ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(FORMULATEXT(A3))))-99,100)))))>0,0)*1)
Please note you MUST press Ctrl+Shift+Enter upon finishing the formula in the formula bar otherwise they will not function correctly.
The logic is to use a combination of TRIM+MID+SUBSTITUTE+RIGHT+FORMULATEXT+REPT+ROW+INDIRECT to extract the cell addresses from the original formula, then use INDIRECT to convert the cell address into the values stored in those cells, then use a combination of IFERROR+ABS+N to find out if any of these values are not 0, and lastly use SUMPRODUCT to add up all the TRUE results.
It is obvious that there are a couple limitations of my solution:
If your actual formula is not strictly in the form of A+B+C+D+E+F, then my SUBSTITUTE part of formula will need further modification;
The formula will treat cells containing 0 as blank and does not include them in the count.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers :)
=(Countifs(B:B;”*”;F:F;”<>*1”))
Why doesn't this work?
I want to count all the rows in the sheet, except the ones that has a number that ends with 1 in column F. It just count all the rows, even the ones in column F that ends with 1.
How do I exclude those?
edit
Some more information!
This is a sample of the data:
Could be up to 8000 rows some days. Column B always says "Independent instruction" so I'm using that as a base to count all the rows. Column F contain only numbers, or blank cells (meaning a number will be added later). I still want to count those rows as well (that's blank). It's just the rows that has a number in column F that ends with 1 that I want to exclude!
SUMPRODUCT gives a bit more flexibility for criteria that involve more than straightforward string-matching:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN($B:$B)>0),--(RIGHT($F:$F,1)<>"1"))
The array formula:
{=COUNT(IF((F:F<>"")*(MOD(F:F;10)<>1);F:F))}
will count all non empty cells in the conditions of your question.
Don't forget to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to place the formula.
Why doesn't this work?
Apart from the fact that you have transcribed it incorrectly (i.e. missing =, and smart quotes ”) the 'F' condition in quotes is a Text value, a formatting issue #BigBen has mentioned in connection with the 'B' values.
You say It just count all the rows so, syntactically corrected, your formula must be working on (a) all 'B's populated (with Text) and (b) all 'F's Numeric. As 1 and "1" are not the same, none of your entries in ColumnF will be excluded by your attempt (none end in "1", though presumably some do end in 1).
#Pspl's A works because its condition (for the 'F's) is based on MOD (applies to Number format values) and #jsheeran's A (my preference) because RIGHT is a string function that returns Text format even from a Number format value.
Put another way, with say 1 in F1, =F1="1" returns FALSE (so =F1<>"1" and =F1<>"*1" return TRUE - that would not suit you) whereas =RIGHT(F1)="1" returns TRUE (or, to suit you, RIGHT(F1)<>"1" returns FALSE).
You can try to use a combination of SUM and IF. Remember to adjust the formula to match your Excel formatting, i.e. replace commas (,) with semicolon (;).
This is an array formula (enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
=SUM(IF(MOD($F$2:$F$25,10)<>1,1,0))
Result (updated with your data set):
When pasting the image into merged cells, the error looks like that:
So you need to make sure the formula is pasted into a single (not merged) cell.
Array formula for values greater than 1000:
=SUM(IF((MOD($F$2:$F$25,10)<>1)*($F$2:$F$25>1000),1,0))
Array formula for values less than 1000:
=SUM(IF((MOD($F$2:$F$25,10)<>1)*($F$2:$F$25<1000),1,0))
Example:
I have a spreadsheet that I track my hours. Each cell initially is populated with a formula, i.e. =IF(WORKDAY(B24-1,1,holidays2019)=B24,OFFSET(C24,-1,2),0)
and then as the month progresses I enter my actual time.
In the following excerpt all values through 5/10/2019 are entered.
The formula =SUMIF(C5:C19,NOT(ISFORMULA(C5:C19))) shows zero. I do not understand why this does not work.
I appreciate any help! Column B in my spreadsheet corresponds to the dates shown below and Column C to the time entries.
Expected Result: 48.9
=SUMPRODUCT(J6:J20,--NOT(ISFORMULA(J6:J20)))
The key to this solution is the -- in front of the NOT(). A boolean that is processed by a math operator gets converted to 1 or 0. --, +0, -0, *1, /1 would have all worked to do the conversion. So now you wind up with an array of values you may want to sum being multiplied by an array of 1 and 0 to indicate the ones you want. The 1 are manual entry and the 0 are your formulas entries.
Now SUMPRODUCT performs array like calculations. As a result avoid using full column/row references inside it or you will wind up with a lot of excess calculations. Adjust the ranges in the answer to suit your needs.
Here's the MSDN definition of the Criteria in =SUMIF
criteria Required. The criteria in the form of a number, expression,
a cell reference, text, or a function that defines which cells will be
added. For example, criteria can be expressed as 32, ">32", B5, "32",
"apples", or TODAY().
Important: Any text criteria or any criteria that includes logical or
mathematical symbols must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
If the criteria is numeric, double quotation marks are not required.
So, the reason, why your SUMIF returns 0 is, because none of the cells match the criteria, as they return a number and meanwhile they expect FALSE
Another issue here being, that the ISFORMULA will return TRUE, even when a range contains a single formula while all the rest has none. So basically you need to drag the formula down for each cell individually and sum them up only when a value is TRUE
Starting from cell D1:
=ISFORMULA(B1)
And then you can simply sum them up with the formula you provided.
=SUMIF(D1:D16,TRUE,C1:C16)
Obviously, you can hide the column D to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
Your formula fails because the criteria you're matching against, is TRUE/FALSE. Obviously the values in C5:C19 don't contain any booleans, so the sum is 0.
To solve this, you can add the correct criteria in cell D5 and below: =ISFORMULA(C5)
Then use =SUMIF(D5:D19,FALSE,C5:C19) to sum the values in column C.
