I see that you have been given a solution elsewhere using vmean but you could also consider adding "N" to the expression (i.e. after ;E). This would make the empty entries be treated as having a 0 value so your check for nan would no longer work but you could always check for 0... The following works: | Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res | |--------+----+----+----+----+-----| | Entry1 | | | | | NP | | Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 | | Entry3 | 10 | | 20 | 30 | 6 | #+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" == "(0)" , string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);EN HTH, eric -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.1.6
