I had an average function in my spreadsheet that was working well: =AVERAGE(
IF('Sheet2'!$2:$2="Tuesday", IF('Sheet2'!7:7<>"",
'Sheet2'!7:7)))

Instead of using all of row 7 in the average calculation, I wanted to only work within a small range, so I changed the formula to this: =AVERAGE(
IF('Sheet2'!$2:$2="Tuesday", IF('Sheet2'!B7:Y7<>"",
'Sheet2'!B7:Y7)))

When I make this change, my formula returns a #n/a error. There are no #n/a’s in the range 'Sheet2'!B7:Y7.

What would be causing this error?

    If you are using Excel 2007 or later versions then there is an inbuilt single function AVERAGEIF. That might be easier for you, it doesn’t required CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and there’s no need to check the range for blanks (AVERAGEIF ignores those anyway) so you could use this formula

    =AVERAGEIF(Sheet2!$B2:$Y2,"Tuesday",Sheet2!$B7:$Y7)
