I think that Averageif needs a range rather than selected cells

=AVERAGEIF(B4:H4,">0") seems to work okay, doesn't work with named range either as far as i can see

Hi Paul, 

You need to unpivot the data so it's in a tabular format to work with these functions. They are not designed to work with non-continuous columns.
