HOW TO REMOVE #DIVIDE BY ZERO AND MAKE CELL BLANK
I am trying to average a customer feedback section of my sheet. But if the cells where the data to be averaged will come from, the result section shows #Divide by Zero. I use the formula =AVG([column1:column2]). What's the formula I need to use for this? I saw in the other community discussion that I can use IFERROR but I don't know how to place it in the formula.
Please refer to below screenshot.
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Hi Mariniel,
Try something like this.
=IFERROR(AVG(ColumnA1:ColumnB1); "")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IFERROR(AVG(ColumnA1:ColumnB1), "")
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Have a fantastic weekend!

Hi again Andree. I got another question. Will IFERROR applies for the formula below (formula to measure handling time)? Instead of #DIVIDE BY ZERO, #INVALID DATA TYPE is the one that appears if source cells are blank. I want it to appear blank if source cells are blank too. Hope you can help me with this. Thanks.

Try this:
I added the IFERROR in the beginning and the "" in the end to make it blank if there are any errors. I also change the row reference to @row so you don't have to think about the row numbers.
=IFERROR(INT((((IF(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", EndTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) + 1, 2))) - ((IF(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", StartTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) + 1, 2)))) / 60) + ":" + IF(((((IF(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", EndTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) + 1, 2))) - ((IF(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", StartTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) + 1, 2)))) - INT((((IF(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", EndTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) + 1, 2))) - ((IF(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", StartTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) + 1, 2)))) / 60) * 60) < 10, "0") + ((((IF(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", EndTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) + 1, 2))) - ((IF(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", StartTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) + 1, 2)))) - INT((((IF(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", EndTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", EndTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(EndTime@row, FIND(":", EndTime@row) + 1, 2))) - ((IF(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1) = "12", IF(OR(FIND("a", StartTime@row) > 0, FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0), 0, 12), VALUE(LEFT(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) - 1))) + IF(FIND("p", StartTime@row) > 0, 12)) * 60 + VALUE(MID(StartTime@row, FIND(":", StartTime@row) + 1, 2)))) / 60) * 60), "")
