Average visible cells only with User Defined Function

Average visible cells only with Kutools for Excel

Here, I introduce a User Defined Function for you to average visible cells only.

1. Press Alt + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. And click Insert > Module, then paste below VBA code to the new Module window.

VBA: Average visible/filtered cells only.

Function AverVisible(Rg As Range)
'UpdateByKutoolsforExcel20151208
    Dim xCell As Range
    Dim xCount As Integer
    Dim xTtl As Double
    Application.Volatile
    Set Rg = Intersect(Rg.Parent.UsedRange, Rg)
    For Each xCell In Rg
        If xCell.ColumnWidth > 0 _
          And xCell.RowHeight > 0 _
          And Not IsEmpty(xCell) _
          And IsNumeric(xCell.Value) Then
              xTtl = xTtl + xCell.Value
              xCount = xCount + 1
        End If
    Next
    If xCount > 0 Then
        AverVisible = xTtl / xCount
    Else
        AverVisible = 0
    End If
End Function

3. And save the code and close the Module window, and select a blank cell which out put the calculate result, type this formula =AverVisible(B3:B19), and press Enter key to get the correct result. See screenshots:

Tip: In the formula, B3:B19 is the filtered cells you want to calculate the average value, you can change it to your need.

With above User Defined Function, you may need to remember the code which is a little inconvenient for you.
