How to get the average of the last 4 values of a row
Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me with a formula. I've wracked my brain and can't think of a way of doing this.

I have a spreadsheet that looks like this.

It basically tracks the ratings of each show.

As you can see each row as a varying number of values. What I want to be able to do is to get the avg for each show for the last 4 ratings only.

eg for the show 30 Rock, I would want to get the values in column L, M, N and O for that row and then divide by 4. I'm looking for a formula that I can apply to all shows rather than manually updating the formula each time.

Note: The formula would also need to take into account some shows that don't have any values yet or shows that have less than 4 values entered.

Note: We have a maximum of 24 values that can be entered for any 1 show

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ie columns C to Z if that helps.
