I need to get the AVERAGE, MODE, & MAX for every 21st row, excluding zeros, beginning with D31 ending with D670. Every formula I try gives me Error 508. Please help. [/img]

Try these array formulae...
| Code: | | AVERAGE(IF((MOD(ROW($D$31:$D$670)-31;21)=0)*($D$31:$D$670<>0);$D$31:$D$670;"")) |
| Code: | | MODE(IF((MOD(ROW($D$31:$D$670)-31;21)=0)*($D$31:$D$670<>0);$D$31:$D$670;"")) |
| Code: | | MAX(IF((MOD(ROW($D$31:$D$670)-31;21)=0)*($D$31:$D$670<>0);$D$31:$D$670;"")) |
Array formula must be entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter PC key combination and the Ctrl key must be held down while dragging the fill handle when copying into adjacent cells.

Is is so that today's computer users can not copy and paste anymore?
Ken's formulas work for me.
Hit F1 to find out what error 501 means:
| F1 Help on error codes wrote: | | 501 Invalid character Character in a formula is not valid. |
Obviously you did not type carefully enough.

I am well aware of what the error codes mean and how to copy and paste. The formulas WERE entered exactly as the post stated because I'm not an idiot. The computer I am using to write the spreadsheets on does not allow outside internet access so I cannot copy and paste the formulas. If you have nothing to add that is helpful, then please mind your own business. If you do have something to add that will help me find the error in the formula then it would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks
