Excel replace zero value cells

Anonymous

I need to convert zero value cells to blank cells so they do not skew my averaging. "Replace" hits every zero in the sheet including 1200 70 and 104, not ideal. The zero value cells are random throughout the data pull, not all in one row or column.

    A couple of additional options that might work for you:

    1. If you click 'Options' in the replace dialog, there is an option to 'Match entire cell contents'. Selecting this will replace a zero on its own but not in 1200, for example.

    1. Rather than replace the zeros, have you considered using AVERAGEIF?

    =AVERAGEIF(A2:D168,"<>0")

    Hi, you can filter by zero, then highlight the cells and press Delete
