I may have just fat-fingered a blank reply - so if one shows up here,
apologies.

This worked. I must have been missing a field before. What I ended up with
is this:

=IF(N(G8),SUM($G$3:G8)/COUNT($G$3:G8),"")

N() returns whether the result of a cell is a number - if it is a formula
(which G8 is) then a "normal" test doesn't work. That could have been some
part of what I was doing wrong initially.So - If (Cell) is a number, return
the average of all numeric fields above it otherwise store a null. Very
cool.

This has simplified my sheet quite nicely - and now if I can just find a
way to edit it on my phone in .ods format, that would be cool. For now
though, using /xls and both DropBox and Google Drive is probably sufficient.

Thanks for the amazing help!
