Pardon the wrapping, perhaps this will read better:

Count Years 1 thru 5:    8                 0              15
2              0
Avg      Years 1 thru 5:    100            0               75
125             0


I want to add 2 columns to my temporary table (for reporting) showing the
total number of serviced items (total count, no problem), and, the average
service dollars (my challenge). 

Therefore, the number of AVG columns > 0, in this case, 3 as a divisor with
the sum of averages as the dividend (100+75+125=400). So, my quotient would
be 400 divided by 3 = 133 and change.

As all the averaging for these rows of numbers is part of my nightly
maintenance (re-populating a table with a revolving 5 year history of data),
I really don't want to sum service dollars again in performing this task,
though this method would yield the results I want. Just that the performance
would really be slow. Rather, I'd like to do the above, but, am failing to
come up with the math or function to do so in creating my "Average" columns
for years 1 thru 5. Any ideas appreciated!
