Getting errors on ignoring the error cells while calculating the average for the column
![SIS](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/defaultavatar/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg)
Hello all,
I've been trying to get an average for the column "Planning notified- QSTO generation". I want to ignore the #invalid data types cells and calculate the average of the column. I was suggested to use iferror but I'm not sure how to place this as a formula as it needs to return something if error is found. I need just to ignore those cells.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi @SIS
I hope you're well and safe!
I am adding the same answer here as well for visibility.
Try this.
=AVERAGEIF([Planning notified - QSTO generation]:[Planning notified - QSTO generation], ISNUMBER(@cell))
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thanks a bunch, Andrée. But I'm still getting Invalid data type error. Any lead will be appreciated! FYI I changed the column name a little and adjusted the formula accordingly!
