Hi,
I have a range of percentages and want to calculate the average. There are some #DIVIDEBYZERO cells within the range that will populate later on in the year. Is there a way to tell Smartsheet to ignore the #DIVEBYZERO? It is possible in Excel using an AverageIF formula. But I can't see how to do it in Smartsheet.
You can use the =ISERROR formula to return whatever you want when there is an error.

or you can use =iferror(formula, "post this if error, usually a 0 or double quotes for blank")
Is there a way I can use this and also tell the formula to display the average of the cells that do not have an error within them?
use the iferror where you are getting the #Divide By Zero issue not in your average formula.
Iferror(Current formula,"")
if there is an error the formula will output a blank. If there isn't an error your original formula will run. Then the average function you currently have will be correct, and you will remove the visible errors on your sheet.
Whatever formula you are using to get your average, put it within the =ISERROR brackets.
=ISERROR(Put your formula here, 0)
That will give you a 0 where there is an error.
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?

Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
Hi Smartsheet Community, I'm working on an action management system where users create sub-actions through a Smartsheet Form. The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
