...valueN?

Example

Consider the Profit of a particular product across different regions East, South, Central and West to be as follows. Assume that if Profit for a particular period is negative or zero, the product was withdrawn from the market and hence that region need not be considered when calculating average Profit.

To achieve this, the following formula should be written in the [Average Sales] node:

AVERAGEEXZERONEG([East],[South],[Central],[West])

Result

Average Excluding Zero and Negative
