Does anyone know a formula to average multiple ranges but ignore zeros. I can do this over one range but adding other ranges confuses everything?Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
What do you mean by multiple ranges? Multiple columns or non-contiguous ranges (eg: A1:D10 or A1:A10,C1:C10 etc)?

If it is the former then try

with data in A1:D14

Code:
=AVERAGE(IF($A$1:$D$14<>0,$A$1:$D$14))

confirm with Control+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter as you would usually do. If done properly Excel will place {} around the formula.

HiThe ranges I'm using are A2:AB25,C2:AB25,E2:AB25 etc. There are about ten of these.

Assuming that there aren't any negative numbers in the ranges of interest, try...

Code:
=SUM(A2:AB25,C2:AB25,E2:AB25)/
   INDEX(FREQUENCY((A2:AB25,C2:AB25,E2:AB25),0),2)
