Each month I produce six lots of two different charts for various business units. After inserting each chart there is a certain amount of formatting of each one to do.

After three or more years of doing this I finally got round to creating two templates to speed things up a bit.

I knew about templates before, I just never remembered to create the before I moved on to the next chart.

You talking about chart templates or workbook templates or both?

Here's one for the Excel superbrain hive mind.

My table of data has 100+ columns and 9000+ rows. For each row:

I need to know the first column that has a value in it.
I need to know the number of subsequent columns that are empty.
I need to know the average value of the non-empty cells (that bit is easy!)

Because then I need to multiply the number of empty cells by the average of the non-empty cells.

Thanks!

Why do you need the first column Fitz?
countblank(range) will give you the total number of embpty cells
of countif(range,"<>") will give you the number of non empty cells

Does that help, or am I missing something?
If you do need the first column, this gives one option extendoffice.com

Thanks um, it's because I'm only interested to the number of blank cells to the "right" of the first non-blank cell.

So for example:
If column B has a value, count the blanks from C:Z
But if the first column with a value is col. K, count the blanks from L:Z
And so on for each row.
